are three critical stages in the radio active waste management flow: | a. Spent nuclear fuel that is stored temporarily at power plants‚ also known as interim storage. b. The control of the risky transportation of radioactive materials. c. The final storage and disposal‚ to protect future generations from potential threats. | | II. There are three levels of contamination: | a. The low level waste: | 1. Nuclear reactor complexes‚ and also hospitals and research departments of industrial corporations

way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very predictable and producers power 24 hours a day‚ 7 days as week. Ground based geothermal heat pumps for heating and

CHEMISTRY FOR HUMAN WELFARE: IT’S PROMISES AND CONCERNS 2011 had been officially declared “The International Year of Chemistry” t o commemorate the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to mankind. It is so fitting that 2011 is the centenary year for the award of Nobel Prize to Marie Curie for her discovery of Radium and Polonium. Also this is the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. P .C Roy.

reduce the time it takes time to getting one place to another. For example: Before fossil fuel it would take the average person days to go from one state to another or hours to get travel between cities. Also‚ in using fossil fuel Power plants could produce enough energy to power their homes‚ which includes lighting‚ heat‚ central air‚ and cooking. In using oil‚ gas and coal society as a whole have improved with some side effects. The disadvantage of fossil fuel is the overwhelming carbon dioxide

The earthquake and tsunami caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan‚ including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas‚ and a dam collapse. Naoto Kan said‚ "In the 65 years after the end of World War II‚ this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan." Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water. The tsunami caused nuclear accidents‚

Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and tidal barrages are better for the environment than nuclear power and fossil fuels. They also have the potential to last forever. So why are they not being used all over the world? A reason for this is because switching to renewable energy as a primary source would cost a lot of money. Some countries don’t think it is worth it‚ and others simply can’t afford to. There are also many nations that earn a vast amount of money from oil and coal‚ that wouldn’t
