What is Nuclear Power?: 

What is Nuclear Power? Nuclear power is energy which is processed with the use of a controlled nuclear reactions. The process uses nuclear fission to generate heat, which cause a magnet to rotate around a length of wife including and electric current. Many nations use nuclear power plants to generate electricity for both civilian and military use .

Advantages of nuclear power: 

Advantages of nuclear power Nuclear power plants do not take up much space. It is by far the most concentrated form of energy, so it can be produced a large quantities over a short periods of time. N uclear wastes occur due to the production of nuclear power is not only small in quantity but also remains confined in order not to affect anyone in its surroundings. Nuclear energy does not pollute in direct way. It is safer and cleaner than many other energy. T he running costs are relatively low.

How does a Nuclear Power Plant Work? : 

How does a Nuclear Power Plant Work? A nuclear power plant ( NPP ) is a thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors. As in a conventional thermal power station the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. Nuclear power plants rely on a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear fission reactor to generate the heat. All downstream power conversion units of the nuclear power plants are the same as other power plants. In a nuclear power plant, splitting atoms of uranium in a process called fission creates the energy needed to produce the steam.

Terrorism and disaster : 

Terrorism and disaster Nuclear power is also known as a significant weapon in term of Terrorism . N uclear power plants could become favoured terrorist targets. Nuclear reactions also produce plutonium in large quantities which could be used in nuclear weaponry. Hiroshima nuclear disaster

Consequences : 

Consequences 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki were killed, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day . 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes . 15–20% died from radiation sickness, 20–30% from burns, and 50–60% from other injuries.

Disadvantages of nuclear power: 

Disadvantages of nuclear power Nuclear power generates radiation, which can be harmful to infected people. Extremely radioactive nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which can spontaneously combust without warning. Nuclear reactors only last for forty to fifty years, so where they are extremely productive, they break down and are costly to replace. Some nuclear reactions also produce plutonium in large quantities which could be used in nuclear weaponry. Nuclear power is non – renewable resource.
