CHAN Ming Nam S147057 The use of nuclear power should be prohibited Since the early 20th century‚ humankind have recognized that fossil fuels would be used up soon. Therefore‚ nuclear power have developed instead of fossil energy. Nuclear power was generated from nuclear fission via nuclear reactors. People use nuclear power to generate electricity and to enforce military strength. Nevertheless‚ using nuclear power may accompany with some disadvantages. Therefore‚ this essay is written to account

A breakthrough was made with by the National Ignition facility’s worlds largest laser than could potentially ignite a fusion reaction. Unfortunately‚ funding for fusion experimentation ran out on September 30th‚ so the science has been slowed down‚ but current estimates put fusion energy power plants invented in about 20 years. This article does a good job at explaining the current

Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine has been around for ages‚ its discoveries has brought about different variations of treatments‚ those in which have helped millions combat diseases. It uses radiation to administer information about the functioning of a person’s organs or to treat diseases. It detects early signs in the tissue. Nuclear medicine procedures are very safe and do not require anesthesia. A small dose of radiopharmaceuticals is introduced into the body with low radiation and still provide

Nuclear CCC Report (Draft outline) [Intro] With the recent news that Singapore might be building a nuclear power plant‚ Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCCs) are in favour of encouraging the public to support the build of nuclear power plant. CCCs are at the apex of all grassroots organisation. A vital bridge between the people and the Government‚ we plan and lead major grassroots activities. In this case‚ we aim to educate elderly‚ homemakers and primary students‚ raising their awareness of

Nuclear Chemistry: The Good vs. the Ugly The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses‚ food

The topic I have chosen for my research proposal is “Is Nuclear Energy Really Safe?” Like all forms of usable energy‚ nuclear power has its pros and cons to it. Many people feel that it is extremely hazardous because of the dramatic accidents that have happened in the past with nuclear power plants such as Chernobyl‚ Threemile Island‚ and Fukushima. However‚ with the possible underlying threats of having nuclear energy as a main source of power to an area‚ it’s capabilities could outweigh the problems. Nuclear energy is one of

Animal Vivisection The practice of cutting open the bodies of living animals in order to do medical or scientific tests on them. Pros - the importance of studying anatomy for scientific understanding (research into genetic engineering‚ treatment of diseases such as cancer‚ training of biology students and so on) - no viable alternative; testing on humans is both morally and ethically wrong and therefore not acceptable. - laboratory animals are bred for that specific

decomposition of the plant and animal matter is known as fossil fuel. What we call oil‚ coal and natural gases are fossil fuels and they are made up of hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned‚ it releases energy which we use as heat or fuel to power equipment. Oil and gas are trapped in rock structures formed by tectonic plate movements under a formation called an anticline. An anticline is a domed or arched formation of rock that does not allow the flow of oil and gas through it. Underneath this

worries and issues on how to handle our power situation in the future‚ nuclear power has always been a sparkling prospect. It has been gleaming there just waiting to be tapped. After the bombs and destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world started to explore other avenues to use the science and power of atoms and came to discover nuclear power. Although this technology seemed like a god sent‚ there are inherent problems with the use and deployment of nuclear power. These problems have the potential

The world needs to move in a direction that will lead to energy independence however businesses and society is slow to move because we cannot see the impacts until it hits home in that all of sacred places‚ our wallets. Changes need to be made but can we afford it or can we afford not to make the move that will ensure our future for
