HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS IN POWER SECTOR The power sector is prone to many accidents and mishaps due to the nature of the working conditions of the power generation plant. The following are the major health and safety concerns in the power sector: Exposure of workers and public to radioactive material Uncontrolled release of radioactive material leading to contamination and exposure off site. Conventional construction hazards and working near live equipment. Health problems such as respiratory

THE PROS AND CONS OF RENTAL POWER IN PAKISTAN INTRODUCTION WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Pakistan has around 20‚000 MW of electricity production‚ but it falls short‚ it falls short of nearly 4‚000 MWs which results in a lot of ways i.e. Load shedding (scheduled and unscheduled)‚ low voltage‚ missing phases and massive breakdowns. The government has been watched taking actions for this problem‚ but there has not been any real solution that came across the vision of public. Present government has failed

I chose the Chemical‚ Biological‚ Nuclear Agents and Incidents regarding HAZMAT topic because this is really interesting to me since I was in Iraq at the beginning and we had to carry a full face respirator along with a Class B chemical suit with us at all times. If we were ever exposed to Anthrax there was a HAZMAT plan in place depending on our location. Weapons of mass destruction have been around for many years like the atomic bomb that we dropped on Japan years ago. This caused an enormous

Assam faces huge power crisis Guwahati: Assam is facing a severe power crisis after a fall in the generation of power by hydel and thermal power stations. Two transmission towers in neighbouring West Bengal were damaged by a devastating storm‚ which has also led to the shortage. The state is facing a shortage of 403 Megawatt (MW) of power with the peak load hour power demand being 1100 MW as against the available 497 MW‚ official sources said today. The problem has been further compounded

Thermal power plants are one of the main sources of electricity in both industrialized and developing countries. These plants have drawn flak on consumption of non-renewable sources of energy at a rapid rate and also since they release huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The anti-greenhouse gas activists are calling for thermal power to be replaced by other cleaner sources of energy. Functioning of thermal power plant: In a thermal power plant‚ one of coal‚ oil or natural gas

We can divide the power sector into four difference stages .Normally the manufacturing power equipment and power generation units come under oligopoly . The power transmission and power distribution come under monopoly.

Describe and Evaluate the Use of Nuclear Fusion and Fission Atoms contain large amounts of energy with the ability to be released in two ways. One of these ways is to join Nuclei together in a process called nuclear fusion and another way is to split atomic nuclei in a process called nuclear fission. Though there are many arguments in favour and against both‚ nuclear fission currently holds the upper hand as a nuclear fusion reactor is yet to be formed. Nuclear fission occurs when a stable isotope
