Nuclear Power Technology_Kate

       Nuclear technology is technology that involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. Among the notable nuclear technologies are nuclear reactors, nuclear medicine and nuclear weapons. It is used in smoke detectors and gen sights.

I’m going to describe you about nuclear power which is about weapons.

There are many benefits of nuclear power.

The main advantage of nuclear power has over other method is that is a clean way to produce energy.

It does not result in any poisonous gases like carbon dioxine,sulfer dioxine or nitrogen dioxine.

The nuclear waste is not only small quantity but also remains confined  that is not affect anyone in its surrounding. It would be as small as a golf ball. The disposal of nuclear power waste is easier than chemical waste because it is only jump dumped into a geological site that has no negative impact in the ecosystem. Nuclear power is very safe.

It’s an extremely dependable source of power because most of nuclear reactors have a life cycle of 40 years.

The biggest fear with nuclear power is the fear of radiation. If there is a nuclear power plant near your business or home. The amount of radiation emitted from a nuclear power plant is less than 1 millirem per year. Workers inside of the nuclear power plants are limited to the amount of radiation so that they are exposed and are monitored for safety. People would be surprised to know that radiation can be advantageous to our health. The nuclear power is being support by many ecological organizations and environmentalist.

What are the disadvantage of nuclear power?

Nuclear Accident : The risk associated with nuclear accident are relatively high. People who work at nuclear power plants live near nuclear station so they have high risk of facing nuclear radiations if nuclear accident happens.

High cost : Nuclear energy needs a lot of investment to set up nuclear station. Nuclear power plant normally take 5-10 years to construct ,and it is opposed by people who live nearby.

Non Renewable : Nuclear power uses uranium which is limited resource. Uranium is not find in many countries.Supply will be available as long as it is there. Nuclear plants will not be of any use. It can not be term as renewable.
