1. INTRODUCTION Throughout the world there are several different designs of nuclear reactor to power turbines to generate electricity for a national grid. The reactors at Chernobyl‚ of which there were four by April 1986‚ with two more planned for the future‚ are known as RBMK-1000 and are only to be found in the ex-Soviyet Union. Building work began in 1971‚ and first reactor went critical in August 1977. By December 1983 all four were on steam. On the night of 25-26 April 1986‚ there were

Title : How to reduce use of Electricity Introduction Electricity is a secondary source of energy. Primary sources of energy are oil‚ coal‚ uranium or the forces of nature. Energy is a source of usable power‚ needed for food production‚ transportation‚ heating‚ cooling‚ and lighting. The largest sources of energy in the world are oil (34%)‚ coal (26.5%)‚ and gas (20.9%)1‚ adding up to over 80% of global energy. These types of fuels are called fossil fuels because they are found in fossil
