The nuclear power plant
Ecologists point of view
By: Alejandro, Jake and Lucia
What they want to do
The goverment want to set up a nuclear power plant in our village, it could destroy our natural rescouces liethe harvests and our life, even animals. This is going to reduce the nummber of foreing people that is goinng to reduce the amounnt of money that our local goverent have, imagine about the number of animals we are going to loose.
Destroyed harvests
This is going to be the result of the nuclear radioactive
Why it's a problem
The only problem about it is that if the nuclear power plant brokes all the living being until 10 kilometers will disapeared
The time of the consequences
If a desaster like that happened the desaster will be able until 100 years
Three main problems of nuclear power
Firstly, it will produce radioactive materials, secondly, it will produce thermal pollution, thirdly, waste nuclear power placement is a headache problem.
Radioactive materials
The heat of nuclear power is not from burn, so it doesn´t cause air pollution, and it doesn´t emit carbon dioxide. But, during the normal aperation of nuclear power plants are still emission radioactive substances discharged into the environment, and nuclear power generationwill produce in low-level radioactive waste, and high intensity radioactive nuclear fuel. These substances will influence the biological cells and chromosomes, it will cause gene mutation. Used nuclear fuel still have many that can be recycled uranium and plutonium, they can become a valuable source of energy in the future. If they spread in our environment, it will effect our health. Generally, some transuranic elements in the used nuclear fuel must be kept very long time from the biological food chain, to avoid harm to humans.
Thermal pollution
Because the thermal effiiency of nuclear power compared to thermal power is very low, so the thermal pollution of nuclear power is more serious. The nuclear power location is the place which effect most. Thermal pollution cause the temperature of sea raise up, so the local ecological enviroment changes.
Placement of nuclear power
This probleam is the most important and difficult problem. However you keep it in the deep ground or sky or sea, no one can make sure it will keep safe 100%, and it will take long time to decomposition it, during this, it 's just like a alarm bomb, god knows when it will explaode!!!
