What are the negative stuff about nuclear power?
1. The nuclear power is messy 2. The biggest negative about nuclear power is the safety factor. If something goes wrong, it can be really bad! 3. Another problem is the amount of heat created by a nuclear power plant. 4. Nuclear power can cause death or extremely bad injuries as part of nuclear power is explosive .
What Are The Negative Things about Nuclear Power?
The biggest negative about nuclear power is the safety factor. If something goes wrong, it can be really bad! Another problem is the amount of heat created by a nuclear power plant. Try googling Chernobyl and 12 (or just) 'mile island' they are great examples of what can go wrong.
Would it be safe to build a nuclear power plant in a city in order to supply the city with alternative power?
Most nuclear plants operate their whole lives entirely safely, but as we have seen in Japan recently, things can go wrong occasionally and its best not to have too many people living near the plant. Transmission lines from the plant at say 20 miles can easily bring the power to the city instaed.
Where is the largest thermal power station in NewZealand?
Since this question is in the "nuclear energy" category, I assume it relates to nuclear thermal reactor. To my knowledge there are no nuclear plants in New Zealand. It would make sense, however, for the question to refer to a geothermal plant and be in the wrong category. If that is the case, the the answer is the Wairakei Plant at Wairakei, at about the center of the North Island. This plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2011. When it is, the largest geothermal plant in New Zealand will be the Nga Awa Purua Power station in Taupo, which is also at about the center of the North Island.
What would be the social consequences if a nuclear power plant exploded?
First and foremost, it is impossible for a nuclear power plant to explode. i.e. to go nuclear, because it is impossible for it to stay in prompt critical geometry long enough to consume the fuel for a runaway reaction to occur. Period. Not possible. Even if a terrorist organization infiltrated the facility and blew it up, that would be a chemical explosion, not a nuclear explosion. Yes, there would be release of radioactive materials to the environment, but it would not be a nuclear detonation as from a nuclear bomb. Get your heads straight around that. Its just not possible. The geometry is all wrong.
What is the disadvantage of having a power station near your house?
The bad thing about living near a nuclear power plant is that radiation will end up affecting you in the long run. No matter what you will be exposed to the radtiation somehow. Everyday you will worry about a melt down occurring and hopefully you wont have kids who will also be exposed to that as well.
What are major drawbacks to the use of nuclear power?
Some major drawbacks to the use of nuclear power include the risk of accidents and meltdowns, long-term storage of radioactive waste, high initial costs for plant construction, and the potential for nuclear proliferation if technology falls into the wrong hands.
What are the con's of nuclear power?
Some cons of nuclear power include the risks of accidents and meltdowns, the challenges of long-term radioactive waste disposal, and the potential for nuclear proliferation if the technology falls into the wrong hands. Additionally, the high upfront costs of building and maintaining nuclear power plants can be a deterrent for some countries.
Can you get cancer from nuclear power plants?
Only if things go badly wrong and radioactivity leaks from the reactor
Social issues related to nuclear power plant?
Social issues related to nuclear power plants include safety concerns regarding the risk of accidents or radiation leaks, environmental impacts such as radioactive waste disposal and potential harm to local communities, and public distrust and opposition due to historical incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima. Additionally, there are equity issues with marginalized communities often bearing a disproportionate burden of nuclear plant location and risks.
Is the nuclear power plant Fukushima out of control?
There is some degree of control at the power plant, but it is not fully stable, so the possibility exists that things could unexpectedly go wrong. TEPCO, the owner of the plant, has been trying to stabilize the situation since the accidents. It has succeeded to some degree, but says the plants will not be fully stable until April of 2012. The history of statements from TEPCO is not encouraging, as they have been proven to be wrong about several important issues. Originally, they said there was no meltdown, and now they say there were three. Their present position sounds credible, at least.
Will using nuclear fuel to generate electricity have a negative effect on the eco system?
Although Nuclear power plants are thought to be carbon neutral the problem with the disposal of nuclear waste is an ongoing and unsolved one. The Chernobyl accident in Ukraine Russia in 1986 is a text book case that' if something can go wrong it WILL go wrong. Childhood leukaemia in the Kiev region has increased dramatically since the reactor exploded and the whole area is closed to the public indefinitely. On balance the answer to your question is yes,all forms of power generation have an impact on the environment but nuclear fuel is inextricably and regrettably inked to a nation's nuclear deterent.
