SCIENCE Energy Resources Research Assignment Nuclear Fission
Nuclear energy is a power produced during the nuclear reaction, It is an energy that is found in the nucleus of an Atom. Energy must be released so it could create electricity, it is released from the atoms in two ways by Nuclear Fusion or by Nuclear Fission. Nuclear Fusion is when energy is released which is when atoms are combined or fused together to form a bigger atom. Nuclear Fission is when atoms are divided and split apart from smaller atoms releasing energy. Some of the power plants burn fuel to produce the electricity needed but the no nuclear power plants don’t need to burn fuel. The nuclear plants use the heat that was given during the fission as fuel. The Nuclear power wastes radioactive waste and heat but the generated electricity does not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The Radioactive wastes are usually trash, tools, protective clothing etc. Nuclear energy comes from uranium, a non-renewable source. There is 13% percent of the world’s electricity comes from nuclear power plants. It is used in more than 30 countries around the world. The Nuclear power plants in some countries produce 2,000 metric tons of radioactive waste every year.
Some of the Advantages:
• Clear power
• Useful source of energy
• Fuel can be recycled
Some of the disadvantages:
• high risk disaster (Chernobyl)
• Waste produced with nowhere to put it (no land)
• Earthquakes can cause damage
• Contamination of the environment
POSITIVE IMPACTS:
Nuclear power plants don’t pollute the air such as the greenhouse gases. Nuclear power plants provide low-cost and they are cheap and provide a stable electric power system. It can be used to run large vehicles. It could be used in the x-rays in hospitals and medical centres.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS:
There were Nuclear power plants accidents since 1952.
One of the accidents was the one in Japan in the
