Nuclear Power Plant
Thought history of human kind, men were able to found different ways to produce energy.
With in all the sources of energy we first have the huge natural forces, such aswind or water turbines. This is called kinetic energy and has to do with moving things. Second are the fuels obtained from the earth such as coal and petroleum which give heat and light when they burnand can also be used to make electricity, this is chemical energy and it differs from kinetic energy in a very important way. The third kind of energy and much more powerful one, is nuclear energy. Itcomes from the nucleus which is the core of the atom, the tiny particles composing all substances. When the nucleus breaks up, the atoms produces heat energy which is used to evaporate water and thesteam moves the turbine.
Nuclear energy has its distinct set of pros and cons, and each has its own community of fierce proponents.
Some of the advantages of nuclear power plants are that NuclearPower is a highly reliable form of energy almost as good as other fossil fuel energy forms like coal, gas etc. Nuclear Power Plants except in drastic situations continue to run reliably for the whole daywithout any changes. Less fuel is required by nuclear plants when compared to the ones which burn fossil fuels. Even after burning several million tons of coal or several million barrels of oil, aton of uranium produces more energy. Nuclear energy production is also eco-friendly as coal and oil burning plants pollute the air. On the other hand, nuclear plants do not contaminate the environmentand hence, decreases dependency on pollution-causing fossil fuels. Nuclear plants require less space and hence can also be build-up in restricted spaces, when compared to others. When compared to coaland oil, nuclear energy is by far the most concentrated form of energy.
On the other hand nuclear power plants also wrings whit it a list of disadvantages. The major disadvantage of nuclear energy...
