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

achievement that has made a huge impact to today’s society is the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station was the first world full scale atomic power plant that was devoted to exclusively to peacetime users only. The power station started its production December 18‚ 1957. It took thirty two months to create the power station and it cost 72.5 million dollars. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station ground was broken in 1954 during dedication ceremonies by President Dwight

be taken into account is that alternative sources of energy including hydroelectric power and wind power are environmental friendly. It is not essential to damage the environment as the original source does like emitting air pollutants‚ CO2 and NO2. There is evidence to support this view that the diversity and the number of wild animals have increased gradually in areas which governments have used hydroelectric power as energy source‚ whereas those in areas which people have utilized coal have had

Some people claim that the advantages of nuclear power overbalance drawbacks. They believe that nuclear weapons provide peace all over the world. And I totally disagree with their statements. First of all‚ people should remember that nuclear power is one of the most dangerous sources of energy. Even one little mistake could lead to unbelievable disaster‚ which could bring a lot of damage to the present and future generations. Good examples here are the Chernobyl catastrophe and more recent Fukushima’s

This means that when you create a dam‚ you don’t have to pay for the water because the rights to use it comes with the land that is purchased for the project. Another pro is‚ dams provide nearly constant electricity. The damning of a river allows for a constant flow so there is no worry about there not being enough water to power the hydroelectric dam. Also no chemicals are used‚ so the water isn’t polluted. Even though the water may be warmed and effected in other ways the water is not chemically

There are actually a number of different sources of energy which can be used to generate electricity to sustain mankind and the economic activities. However‚ nuclear energy is considered as more reliable compared to other sources of energy. Moreover‚ energy sources can be classified as renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy sources are those which can be reused without depletion. Consequently‚ they cause less harm to the human health and less pollution to the environment

The Advantages of Coal Fired Power Plant By: Earl Christopher Reyes We Students had an opportunity to learn about the functions‚ the misconceptions and the advantages of having a Coal-Fired Power Plant as the source of our daily need of electricity. We had conducted a symposium with the representatives of the company (Panay Electric Company Inc.) last Thursday‚ October 19‚2011. And now we know the answers behind every inquisitions of the people of Panay region‚ and that is‚ “Is coal really
