Are India’s nuclear power plants safe and secure? The recent earthquake in Japan‚ which has caused a major nuclear crisis has forced people across the world to ask questions about the viability of nuclear power. Indians too are asking whether nuclear power is a safe option for the country. FEARS OF nuclear meltdown in Japan have put question marks on safety and security of `nuclear plants across the world. Analysts have predicted that the ongoing crisis in Japan will lead to soul searching about

beginning of a nuclear age. The original purpose of nuclear energy was to be used as a tool of massive destruction; as demonstrated on Japan in WWII. Once the power of nuclear energy was realized‚ people started to advocate for its potential for good in order to assist humanity. It was put at the top of many political agendas for an improved future. After WWII the dream for many became a reality‚ slowly but surely nuclear power plants started to develop around the world. Using nuclear energy as

Prospects for U.S. Nuclear Power After Fukushima The meltdown of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant on March 11th 2011 has directly aroused the controversy on nuclear power worldwide. Germany’s coalition government finally announced a reversal of policy that would see all the country’s nuclear power plants phased out by 2022. Due to the safety concern on nuclear power‚ a great multitude of economists in the United States believe that the economic market of nuclear power will be severely restrained

Nuclear Power Plants Are a Threat to the Whole World Produced by controlled non-explosive nuclear reactions‚ nuclear power accounts for 6% of the world’s energy and an approximate 13% of the world’s electricity supply (World Nuclear News 2010). Nuclear power has accumulated worldwide regards towards a positive move into the goal of sustainability. Conversely‚ the use of nuclear power has grown to become a major concern due to its obvious destructive effects on the environment‚ people and the world

Producing electrical energy from nuclear fuel Introduction Obtaining electricity from nuclear fuel has its base on the radioactive decay. Radioactive decay occurs when an isotope (element with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus) is radioactive‚ because its nucleus is unstable. In time it decays and emits alpha or beta particles‚ they collide with surrounding atoms and make them move faster‚ that provokes thermal energy. That thermal energy released is around a million times bigger than

Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is nuclear power plant‚ completed but never fueled‚ on Bataan Peninsula‚ 100 kilometers (62 mi) west of Manila in the Philippines. It is located on a 3.57 square kilometer government reservation at Napot Point in Morong‚ Bataan. It was the Philippines’ only attempt at building a nuclear power plant. The Philippine nuclear program started in 1958 with the creation of the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) under Republic Act 2067. Under a regime of martial law‚ Philippine
