energy are worthy substitutes‚ they are not yet ready to meet the world’s energy needs. Nuclear power is an attractive energy source‚ as it doesn’t emit greenhouse gases and can be used on a large scale‚ producing over 20% of electricity in the United States.1 Although with any energy solution‚ comes consequences.

INTRODUCTION A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods‚ severe weather‚volcanic eruptions‚ earthquakes‚ and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover.[1] An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area

On the 26th of April in 1986 one of the worst nuclear disasters in history occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine. The number 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant ended up exploding after several errors that occurred during a scheduled safety systems test. The explosions released large amounts of radioactive materials into the sky and it was spread over great distances by wind streams. The repercussions of the disaster are only now being better understood today.

The Dilemma of nuclear technology The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011 has risen our awareness on using nuclear energy and we have since begun to re-evaluate the possibility of promoting the use of the technology widely. Despite the potential dangers it can induce‚ there are some benefits it has brought which are worth noticing. In the economic aspect‚ the operation cost of nuclear energy is relatively lower than the other energy such as natural gas and other renewable energy. According

Nuclear energy is needed according to the demands of the energy that creates electricity. Nuclear energy plays an important role in the air pollution because it reduces the carbon dioxide emitted to the air. According to the new research that was done by The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN)‚ about the uses of nuclear technology‚ the radioisotopes and radiation used in food and agriculture to reduce these figures that was done 2014-2016 that shows 795 million people

Nuclear Energy‚ Issues and Solutions With the creation of Nuclear weapons‚ potentially the worst thing that has happened to humanity in it’s history‚ came something with a lot of potential to do good. Nuclear energy is both very clean and very efficient. However there have been many tragic accidents regarding Nuclear energy. Chernobyl is the most notable disaster‚ currently however we are in the middle of a potential disaster unfolding at Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Facility. Nuclear Energy is

Chernobyl Disaster Chernobyl nuclear plant is one of the biggest disasters in history! It happened on April 26‚ 1986. It was a nuclear radiation disaster. About 4‚000 people died. All the survivors suffered from the radiation side affects for the rest of there lives. This also ruined the environment! The nuclear plant exploded exactly at 1:23 A.M. The explosion killed two people. Then radiation started pouring out of the reactor. There were 134 emergency workers that got involved trying

Nuclear Power The Future OF Energy Nuclear power‚ a phrase that isn ’t too far from its controversial disputes. nuclear powers debate began around the 1970s to late 1980s when American nuclear power plant in Harrisburg‚ Pennsylvania had a cooling malfunction that caused a part of one of its reactors partially melt inside the reactor core. Media outlets jumped onto this incident‚ and dramatizing the events that transpired; not intending to downplay the significance
