Is it safe to enter in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear power plant is safe if it's designed on the most advanced safety measures. Its accurate and permanent maintenance issues are essential to keep any nuclear power plant working safely. I think visitors are not allowed in Nuclear Power Plants.
What are some of the issues of nuclear power plants?
Nuclear power amounts for a somewhat large portion of our the energy that we use. However, nuclear spills can be devastating. When a nuclear power plant leaks, radioactive material is released into the environment. This material is extremely harmful to humans and can cause many health problems and cancer. Radiation is spread through the air. It can take many years for the harmful material in the environment to go away. One of the most well-known nuclear accidents was the disaster at Chernobyl. Also, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan recently had a spill.
What is the most dangerous invention?
nuclear bombs
Why haven't any nuclear reactors been constructed in the United States since 1996?
Most nuclear reactors started being built in 1974. Changing economics and the Three Mile Island accident most planned projects were canceled. The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown. Over 100 planned nuclear power reactors were canceled. Most of those were already under construction. George W. Bush's Nuclear Power 2010 Program was an effort to start build nuclear reactors again. But the 2010 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster the majority of planned projects were canceled.There are a few new nuclear projects. The construction of the second unit at Watts Bar Nuclear Generating Station in Tennessee was 80% complete in the 1980s but construction was abandoned due to a decrease in power demand. In 2007 construction was approved to continue and construction was finally finished in 2015.In March 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved construction plans for Unit 2 and 3 at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station. Unit 2 began construction in March 2013 and Unit 3 began in November of the same year..In February 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved construction plans for Unit 3 and 4 at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. Like the Summer plant, Unit 3 began construction in March 2013 and Unit 4 began in November.
