Preliminary Prospectus
I will be researching nuclear energy and if we as humans are looking into long term, rather than short term, and if we are truly fit to be harnessing such a powerful form of energy. Some of my questions are: How dangerous is nuclear energy? How long does it take to clean up a nuclear accident? Is the number of lives (and miles of property) lost due to nuclear accidents worth it? Is it really “greener?” After seeing many news reports on the current Japanese crisis, and researching the topic of nuclear accidents (and effects of radiation fallout), as well as gathering other people’s opinions, I see that some people believe the risk is, indeed too high, it is not green, and we should not be building new reactors. I am interested in this topic due to the energy crisis, and the current Japanese radiation scare due to a nuclear power plant melt down. I feel people should be informed of an energy “super power” that could have the capability to poison the planet; will this cause more problems in the long run? One argument for not building new nuclear plants is the nuclear waste. The factories store it in barrels that are later put in desert mountains that take 10,000 years to decay, which is a very long time and it is unknown if the containers will stay closed for so long. Yet, another perspective is nuclear accidents are rare, and it is indeed green due to the fact that no hazardous emissions are released. I plan to gather information on this topic by reading and citing multiple gated databases, as well as checking out library books on the topic. Also, current credible magazines may also be helpful , it is important to have credible sources for an educated paper.
1.) Nuclear accidents
2.) Nuclear waste
3.) Chernobyl
4.) How long do power plants last?
5.) Nuclear melt downs
6.) Radioactive decay
7.) Nuclear fission
8.) Green power sources
9.) Problems with nuclear energy
10.) Pros of nuclear energy
11.) Radiation sickness
12.) How many miles would a nuclear ,meltdown contaminate
13.) Three mile island
14.) Nuclear emergency evacuation
15.) How to cool down a nuclear reactor
16.) Who works in a nuclear power plant
17.) How close do people live to nuclear power plants
18.) Why do people within miles of power plants keep potassium iodide pills?
19.) How many power plants do we have in the world?
20.) Splitting atoms
if that was a song btw i have no idea what its from hehe xxx
