Nuclear power plants produce large amounts of energy which are generally better then using fossil fuels. The downside, in case you wanted to know, is the waste product is nuclear waste which is highly radioactive, and can give you radiation sickness, or cancer. The waste takes approx. 100,000 years to stabilize.
What else can I help you with?
What country in Ukraine experienced a nuclear disaster?
The country that was affected most is Belarus, because it is the smallest country and 1 part of 3 is dead. Then goes Ukraine because it is bigger and it least effected. And then goes Russia because it is giant and affected least. Good luck!
What is the significance of chernobyl?
Chernobyl is the worlds worst nuclear disaster. It leaked 100 times the radiation than the two bombs dropped on Japan. Chernobyl is a nuclear power plant that it's reactor 4 exploded.It is located in Pripyat, urkrain. It happened August 27, 1987.
Is nuclear radiation a bad or a good thing?
Nuclear radiation is neither good nor bad, it is a natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena cannot be good or bad (this is an ethical/moral judgement), they are simply facts.
Effects of radioactive waste on wildlife?
Nuclear waste is carefully stored and never spread around the environment unless there is a serious accident like at Chernobyl, or resulting from fallout from nuclear weapon use. At Chernobyl there were reports of vegetation being discolored, but this was due to quite exceptional levels of contamination which have never been remotely approached in the US or W Europe. I'm not aware of reports on atmospheric weapon tests, most of which were in the Soviet Union, so not reported on. More recently of course all nuclear tests have been underground. Most attention has been given to effects on humans, but clearly animals grazing on contaminated land will pick up some radiation. This happened after Chernobyl in countries as far away as the UK and meat from sheep in some areas was banned for quite a long time, though the actual levels were very low, not enough to make the sheep ill, but detectable. Low level discharges from Sellafield fuel processing plant into the Irish Sea have occurred, and the effects are monitored by analysing fish caught nearby, but I'm not aware of any resulting ban on fishing.

At two o'clock on Sunday the buses arrived, A fleet of a thousand or more, We were ordered to be on our way, Not knowing what lay in store, Some of our citizens fled in dismay, And looked for a good place to hide, Four o'clock came and the last bus pulled out, T'was the day our lovely town died. And the shirts sheets and handkerchiefs crack in the wind, On the window ledge the withering plants, And the Ladas and Volga's are parked by the door, And the bike's in its usual stance. Our evergreen trees lie withered and drooped, They've poisoned our fertile land, The streets speak a deafening silence, Nothing stirs but the sand. A visit back home is so eerie today, A modern Pompeii on view, To see all the old shops and the Forest Hotel, And the Promyet Cinema too. The mementos we gathered were all left behind, Our Photos, letters and cards, The toys of our children untouchable now, Toy soldiers left standing on guard. So fare thee well Pripyat, my home and my soul, Your sorrow can know no relief, A terrifying glimpse of the future you show, Your children all scattered like geese, The clothes line still sways but the owners long gone, As the nomadic era returns, The question in black and white blurred into grey, The answer is too easy to learn. CHRISTY'S COMMENT Late one night during The Willie Week we were gathered in the back lounge of Malones hostelry. Porter and songs were flying in all direction with tunes for divarsion. Mrs Malone, God rest her, put down the pan and started to fry up fresh fillets of mackerel whilst fresh white bread was buttered.Never tasted anything so good. Then there followed a lull amongst the late drinkers. Tim Dennehy quietly slipped into this song (which he had just penned). It was a sad song to hear..
Who died in chenobyl?
Chernobyl*? Everyone within a good several-radius of the explosion, including plant and animal life. Nuclear radiation tends to kill living things.
Where was chernobyl?
Chernobyl started from an inherently unstable design, it's considered a breeder reactor, really good at making weapons grade plutonium but functionally unstable. The actual incident occurred during testing of the reactor to see how far it could be pushed.
Can nuclear energy kill people?
Yes it can. If a nuclear power plant melts down radioactive material is put into the atmosphere, land, water. A good example of this is in Russia where Chernobyl had a meltdown. Nothing can live there today and won't for another 100 years.
What country in Ukraine experienced a nuclear disaster?
The country that was affected most is Belarus, because it is the smallest country and 1 part of 3 is dead. Then goes Ukraine because it is bigger and it least effected. And then goes Russia because it is giant and affected least. Good luck!
What are some good things about nuclear reactors?
They provide energy.
Is nuclear energy harmful energy harmful?
It can be harmful - see Chernobyl. But in a well run industry the risks are very minimal. This is achieved by good design and careful operating techniques.
What were the consequences for chernobyl occurring?
A bad example is a good lesson.Once Chernobyl occurred the dangers of poorly run nuclear power plants became more evident. As consequence the shortcoming leading the event and the consequences of the follow up actions were studies. This allowed changes in operating and emergency response programs to be developed and implemented.The unfortunate side effect is that the anti-nuclear groups had a scary example to help them ban further nuclear development.
Having nuclear plant is the right move in Malaysia?
There is a tremendous amount of debate about whether nuclear power plants are good in any country. Nuclear power has several advantages: it emits no air pollution or greenhouse gases, and it does not depend upon fossil fuels (which are getting more expensive). The disadvantages are that if a nuclear power plant is not run correctly it can have a very destructive accident (such as the infamous Chernobyl incident) which is far worse than anything that can happen with other kinds of power plants; and it is difficult to dispose of the nuclear waste which they produce. Greater use of solar power and wind power would seem to be a better move.
What are good things and bad things about plutonium?
Plutonium is very important for nuclear weapons and for nuclear fuels used in nuclear reactors. But plutonium is also toxic and radioactive. See the link below.
What is a good conclusion for a paper on the negative effects of nuclear energy?
I assume you will have mentioned Chernobyl and Three Mile Island in the paper. You could emphasise that both these events were avoidable, and that to avoid such events good design and operating procedures are necessary.
What is the worst kind of energy?
Nuclear energy can be considered one of the worst types of energy due to the potential risks associated with accidents, such as meltdowns and radiation leaks, as seen in incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima. Additionally, the long-term storage of nuclear waste poses environmental and safety concerns.
Why is nuclear power controversial?
I think mainly because of the history of its use in WW2 as a weapon, this was the first time the general public were aware of nuclear power and the fear of its use in wartime has meant a continuing suspicion of it and scientists involved. As an industrial process for producing electricity it might not have attracted such suspicion if it had never been used as a weapon. It has a pretty good record of safety, even with the Chernobyl disaster having occurred, compared with other high energy industries such as coal mining. As an example of what can happen with industrial processes, take the example of the Union Carbide plant explosion in India (I forget the year). About 4000 people died due to exposure to dioxins, this was far worse than Chernobyl.
