easily accessible‚ how it operates can be overlooked. We don’t have to know how it works as long as it works. Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s spent? Contaminated

To a large extent‚ I agree that the nuclear power is an unsustainable energy resource. Environmentally‚ water for cooling process of the nuclear plants is released into the sea. This causes thermal pollution and reduces water quality. Moreover‚ the radioactive wastes in the nuclear plants will release radioactive substances and contaminate the surrounding areas. Even if the waste is buried underground‚ there may be leakage‚ polluting the underground water and soil. Serious damage is done to the

of nuclear power. The high Invest Costs would be the first challenge to face‚ The construction cost of a nuclear reactor is high; according to various studies‚ the total cost of building and making a nuclear power plant operational ranges between $8-17 billion(which is about 5~11 billion pounds). It implies a huge amount of investment from the beginning to the end — how to handle nuclear waste‚ or ‚more specifically‚ the Radioactive Waste. Radioactive Waste is a by-products of the nuclear power

Promises and Perils of Nuclear Power Nuclear power refers to the generation of electrical energy by controlled nuclear reactions. These reactions produce heat‚ which in turn creates steam that runs the generators to produce electricity. Approx. 1/8 of the electricity worldwide generated comes from nuclear energy. In this task‚ you will analyze the use of nuclear energy as a resource energy. * Discuss the scientific and technical concepts related to the use of nuclear power as an energy resource

Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project Introduction: At present‚ India is the sixth largest energy consumer in the world and is projected to emerge as the fourth largest consumer after the United States‚ China and Japan in the coming decades. India’s commercial energy basket is currently dominated by coal (53 percent); oil (31 percent) and gas (8 percent). Meeting increasing energy demands will remain one of the major issues for India in the 21st century owing to high dependency on energy imports.
