Nuclear Power Assignment -Containment structure: This is usually a big concrete dome or structure that protects workers and the area around it from potentially dangerous radiation. The walls of the structure are metres thick of concrete to absorb the radiation. -Reactor: The reactor is the most important part of the process as it produces heat which forms steam to power the turbines therefore creating electricity. It uses uranium-235 or in some cases plutonium-239. -Control rods: Control

THE BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY The only clean‚ safe energy source capable of ensuring the continuation of our industrial civilization while protecting the environment. by Bruno Comby Introduction and conclusion (previous conclusion elevated to introduction) Nuclear energy is a clean‚ safe‚ reliable and competitive energy source. It is the only source of energy that can replace a significant part of the fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas) which massively pollute the atmosphere and contribute

Fukushima Power Plant Nuclear power plants now account for 14% of the world’s electricity supply [1]. These power plants differ only by the fuel used from oil coal or gas power plants. The concept is otherwise the same. Large nuclei become unstable when struck with a neutron‚ his causes it to split apart and also produce neutrons which are fire out. This then causes a chain reaction and other nuclei are split up. This splitting of nuclei is called nuclear fission and it provides heat which heats

As one of President Barrack Obama ’s advisers‚ weighing the options for what to do about Iran possibly becoming a nuclear power has never been more important. Two main strategies are on the forefront‚ monitoring the situation like we have been doing or going ahead and bombing their nuclear sites and possibly their government officials. Both situations have ramifications to which could possibly be detrimental to our country‚ but the positive results

Coal power vs. Nuclear power Safety & Efficiency With nuclear power came what was thought to be a more clean alternative to burning coal and other fossil fuels; Nuclear power does not produce nearly as much of the greenhouse gases as coal produces. People and society have given nuclear power a bad name‚ considering the amount of accidents that have happened. Although when you look at statistics it’s not as many as you would believe‚ or expect. When nuclear power is put head to head with coal
