Schematic diagram of what a nuclear power plant look like.
Chain reaction at a critical state in a nuclear reactor
Nulear fusion
Three Mile Island
little radiation was leaked out
no significant effect on the health of the residents around the plant
U.S worst nuclear accident
Nuclear Plants standards are raised
the rods melted and combined with the uranium and created a hydrogen pocket in one of the reactors
Chernobyl
Nuclear fallout is still occurring today
Caused a nuclear cloud to spread around Europe
Nuclear reactor exploded due to poorly trained workers and the reactor's faulty design
Radiation caused many deformities in the next generation
Radiation made all the residents leave their homes due to the high radiation in the area
Radiation caused illness and death
Nearly one million people died from the radiation and radiation-caused diseases
Fukushima
A 15 meter tsunami damaged and cut off three of the reactors' power and cooling thus causing the nuclear accident/ nuclear meltdown
High radioactive releases over 4 to 6 days
no cases or deaths of radiation sickness
1,323 died from nuclear- related deaths
Facts
2. 1 in 5 homes and businesses in the US are powered by nuclear energy.
3. United States power plants produce 2,000 metric tons of radioactive waste every year.
4. Of the 23,000 nuclear weapons in existence around 2,500 are on High Alert. This means they are ready to be launched at a moment’s notice.
5. One of the most sought-after toys was a radioactive science kit. The Gilbert U 238 Atomic Energy Lab was equipped with four types of ore that contained variations of alpha, beta, and gamma sources. Included in the mix was alpha particle Po-210 (polonium), which is highly toxic if absorbed, inhaled, or ingested.
6. The Manhattan Project secretly tested the effects of radiation on its own citizens, including injecting pregnant women radioactive mixtures and feeding children radioactive oatmeal.
7. Bananas are slightly radioactive and eating a banana exposes a person to radiation. Recent post-earthquake radiation spikes in Japan measured in bananas have seen levels up to 30 bananas but have dropped down to 1-2 bananas per day.
8. Fireman’s eyes at the Chernobyl disaster are said to have turned from brown to blue because of the intensity of the radiation he received.
9. After Japan’s nuclear disaster in 2011, several countries have rethought the use of nuclear energy. Germany plans to close all of its reactors by 2021, and Italy and Switzerland have halted expanding their nuclear power.
10. Disposing of one's outer clothing can remove up to 90% of radioactive material after a nuclear disaster.
11. In 1979, there was a nuclear power plant accident on Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island. The disaster exposed 2 million nearby residents to low-risk radiation (less than the strength of an x-ray). It took 14 years and $975 million to clean up.
Quotes on NP
"I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control."
Hayao Miyazaki
"In shuttering Yucca Mountain, Obama makes it extremely likely that nuclear power in the United States will continue its long, slow, and extremely welcome death."
Timothy Noah
"If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commercial insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I'm not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family."
Donna Reed
"More than 30 of America's 100 nuclear power reactors have the same brand of General Electric reactors or containment system used in Fukushima."
Bill Dedman
"While many technological measures can be taken to secure safety at nuclear power plants, such measures on their own cannot cover great risks."
Naoto Kan
"But when you come right down to it, the reason that we did this job is because it was an organic necessity. If you are a scientist you cannot stop such a thing. If you are a scientist you believe that it is good to find out how the world works; that it is good to find out what the realities are; that it is good to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to control the world and to deal with it according to its lights and values."
Regarding the atomic bomb project.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
IF WE CONTINUE WITH NUCLEAR POWER WE WILL NOT HAVE A FUTURE!!!
We should use things like Wind, Manual, or Solar power. They are much more efficient and they will never run out.
