"It is highly unlikely that any radiation capable of causing harm to people will be left in atmosphere after seven days and 2000+ miles of travel‚" added Masters‚ founder of the Weather Underground online weather forecasting service. "Even the Chernobyl nuclear disaster‚ which had a far more serious release of radioactivity‚ was unable to spread significant contamination more than about 1‚000 miles‚" he said.

I’m against the use of nuclear power for obvious reasons such as accidents in the nuclear power plant then in the history had made destruction and death‚ to give the two most famous examples Chernobyl(1986) and Fukushima(2011). The radioactive dust of both this nuclear power plant‚ from Ukraine and Japan‚ arrived even in Italy. The worst thing is that the damages caused by nuclear accidents are not only in the immediate‚ but go on for

Together nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams provide about 50% of the power generated for the United States doing so in a clean and efficient manner. Both systems have their ups and down‚ radiation and disrupting ecosystems for example‚ but their benefits far outweigh the small risks and problems they create. We have progressed in leaps and bounds in power development making these two much safer and efficient than most other ways to generate electricity. Hydroelectric dams create a substantial

production of coal power. Nuclear power’s bad reputation has come about due to the accident at nuclear plants such as Chernobyl in Ukraine‚ Fukushima in Japan and Three Mile Island in the USA. Chernobyl was one of the only ones out of three that has been classified as a “major accident” by The International Atomic Energy Agency; the other was the accident at Fukushima. The reason the Chernobyl accident was considered a “major accident”‚ was due to the emergency shutdown failing‚ with a full melt down being

you are given a task and you don’t sleep or you sleep less due to certain reasons. Your performance in doing the task is decreased and the work will not be good or sloppy. An example of an accident caused by fatigue is the horror accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant‚ which is one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. The trouble started at 1.26am on April 26th‚ 1996. The cause has been partially attributed to human error due to confusion and fatigue. Depression‚ a state of low need

Don’t Support Nuclear Energy These days‚ it seems like everyone is worried about how the world will meet its energy demands when we don’t have oil and natural gas. Scientists and researchers are investigating such power sources as solar energy‚ wind energy‚ and even energy new kind of energy shale gas recources . However‚ there is one energy source that I believe should not be developed anymore. In fact‚ I believe that we should stop using it as soon as possible. Even though it can provide

and storing at Yucca Mountain is not the worst option‚ because the dangers of storing it there is smaller than the dangers of not doing so. This lecture makes me recall the tragic event in my country when one of the nuclear reactors exploded at Chernobyl nuclear plant in 1986. The consequences of this accident were and still are terrible for people and the environment in Ukraine and in surrounding countries. Furthermore‚ recent consequences of earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan at Fukushima nuclear

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three of the plant ’s six reactors overheated and their fuel melted down causing hydrogen explosions to blow the tops off three reactor buildings‚ which lead to a major leak of radiation at levels not seen since Chernobyl in 1986. The authorities hugely underestimated the risks tsunamis posted to the plant. Tokyo Electric had assumed that no wave would reach more than about 20 feet‚ but little did they know the tsunami would hit more than twice that height. Also‚
