other hand‚ some pollution‚ cost expense and health problems are becoming seriously. From my point of view‚ the disadvantages of nuclear technology outweigh the benefits. Firstly‚ nuclear technology tends to give rise to a vast amount of waste. Radioactive waste is the most significant pollution. A number of exporters who works in the department of environment mentioned it is very difficult to collect or dispose the kind of waste because the technology have not very efficient .There is no doubt

the operations done by the staff were highly questionable) 2. Radioactive Waste : Radioactivity naturally decays over time‚ so radioactive waste has to be isolated and confined in appropriate disposal facilities for a sufficient period of time until it no longer poses a threat. Radiation exposure can also cause cancer‚ birth defects‚ and other abnormalities‚ depending on the time of exposure and amount of radiation. High-level radioactive waste from nuclear reactors can be hazardous for thousands of

Nuclear Power may be atmospheric friendly‚ but it is capable of causing extensive harm on any living organism. One of the worst nuclear power accidents happened in the United States on March 28‚ 1979. The accident occurred at 4:00 a.m. at the Three Mile Island 2 Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania. Three Mile Island has two power plants and together they supplied about 300‚000 homes with electricity. The accident started out as a mechanical malfunction‚ but was intensified by human errors. It was

“A tiny speck of plutonium-239‚ as little as three millionths of a gram‚ can cause lung cancer. One pound of plutonium-239 contains enough specks to kill nine billion people instantly” (Pringle 26). Plutonium-239 is a human-made element‚ also known as the most dangerous substance on earth. As a by-product of uranium fission‚ plutonium-239 is created by generating electricity from nuclear sources. Contrary to popular belief‚ nuclear energy is hazardous and threatening to health. The use of nuclear

Good afternoon‚ our group thinks that technologies do more harm than good. We are going to use two specific kinds of technologies to talk about the harmful of it. The first one is about the harmful of using smart phones and the second one is the harmful of having nuclear power/ power plant. According to the Wikipedia‚ the definition of technology is the making‚ modification‚ usage‚ and knowledge of tools‚ machines‚ techniques in order to solve a problem‚ achieve a goal or perform a specific function

Earth. I’m against the use of nuclear power for obvious reasons such as accidents in the nuclear power plant then in the history had made destruction and death‚ to give the two most famous examples Chernobyl(1986) and Fukushima(2011). The radioactive dust of both this nuclear power plant‚ from Ukraine and Japan‚ arrived even in Italy. The worst thing is that the damages caused by nuclear accidents are not only in the immediate‚ but go on for decades and perhaps centuries in the environment

Since the United States exploded its first atomic in 1945 in Japan‚ human have been studying its influence on environment. In a short time‚ the blast wave could destroy the whole ecosystem around the place where nuclear weapons bomb. In long term‚ radioactive fallout may need over years to fall to the ground and climate change could make it is impossible for any life. It appears nuclear weapons mean destruction to the whole world‚ but government can solve these problems by new policies. The easiest

gradient i.e. falling water. Usually hydroelectric power is obtained by using dams that are built on rivers or waterfalls which convert the kinetic energy of the falling water into electrical energy using large turbines. Nuclear power is the use of radioactive metals and their subsequent nuclear reactions to convert water into steam‚ the pressure of which can be used to run large turbines that can generate a large amount of electrical power. Hydroelectric power is generally considered to be a safe

energy needs of the planet. There are four main arguments that we would like to state. Firstly‚ the radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants lasts FOREVER. It is a deadly legacy to give to our children and there is no safe place to store it. The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation calls nuclear power "an industry that’s basically mortgaging 250‚000 years of environmental safety through its radioactive waste. Secondly‚ nuclear power is dangerous. Catastrophic accidents happen all the time due to
