MODEL ANSWER—THAILAND’S NUCLEAR POWER PLANT I INTRODUCTION As authorized by you‚ I submit an analytical report on the above subject in memo form Thailand will build its first nuclear power plant by 2022 to meet rising electricity demands. Although Thailand drafted the first nuclear power plant in 1991‚ it was not implemented due to strong opposition from environmentalists. I have interviewed Energy Minister Pityasavasti Amranand‚ and received information from the Bangkok Post of 27th Jan 2008

In “Nuclear Waste”‚ Richard A. Muller‚ a professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley‚ discusses the dangers of nuclear waste and criticizes how important figures are handling the situation. To put it another way‚ Muller’s main intention of this article is to inform any future president about the reality of nuclear waste and power by reinforcing the fact that nuclear waste is intractable. Besides‚ Muller points out that it is impractical to focus on the absolute containment of

Dillon G. Nuclear Energy vs. Conventional Petroleum Energy Through out the history of the United states the main source of energy has been conventional Oil‚ Coal‚ and gas energy‚ or better known as Conventional petroleum energy. However as the demand for electricity sky rockets the pollution produced from the traditional fossil fuel burning plants is reaching dangerous levels. Gas‚ coal and oil burning power plants are as of now responsible for half of America’s air pollution (tripod/online)

Is It So Safe to Use Nuclear Energy? The fragile environment of our planet is now under threat. Carbon fuels such as coal and oil are running out and their emissions are destroying the ecosystem. To prevent the harmful effect on the environment‚ Dr Symonds discussed his view that nuclear power is the best affordable way to protect the nature of the Earth. Although the facts introduced at the conference were quite persuasive‚ there are some points to argue. There was a statement in which Dr Symonds

h Applications of Nuclear Chemistry with Medicine The role nuclear chemistry plays a major role in medicine‚ the parts that nuclear chemistry with medicine is the form of radiation. There are types of methods used to apply radiation to the human body to outline some they will be medical imaging (X rays) and radiation therapy which are in the emphasis of nuclear medicine. Also nuclear chemistry has some other methods that deals with nuclear medicine called analytic methods which are using radioactive

6 august‚ 1945 America had attacked Hiroshima‚ Japan with nuclear bomb named little boy. Nuclear bomb has taken around 10000 lives in the provenience of explosion. Three days later again an attack had occurred with the same type of the bomb named fat man in Nagasaki. The intensity of the bomb was 12500 TNT and it had caused around 4000 degree Celsius. It was enough to vaporize the flesh and bones of humans. It was a nightmare for the people of Japan. The name “hypocenter” is a new term to learn

Nuclear Power Plants and Safety Since the humans use energy sources such as wood‚ coal‚ and oil to produce electricity‚ people want to use better energy sources to produce electricity more. By the mid twentieth century‚ scientists found the method of making incredible energy by using uranium as nuclear fission. Today there are about 400 nuclear power plants around the world and more than 100 nuclear power plants in United States (Howstuffworks). In addition‚ nuclear reactors produced a lot of
