Why nuclear power is not the answer!!

1. Mrs. Anderson By: Shamira Wade, Shannon Hammock, and Ryan Evans Why nuclear power is not the answer!!

2. Why nuclear power is bad. • 1. Nuclear power is dangerous because it can combust really easy. • 2. It must be sealed up and buried for thousands of years for the radioactivity to die.

3. Way it is bad • 3. It must be kept safe from earthquakes, flooding, terrorist, and ect. • 4. A lot of money has been spent on the safety from nuclear power.

4. Way it is bad • Radiation • It is a major threat to humans and the environment. • Results can be disastrous • Nuclear power plant.

5. *Other facts* • 1. A nuclear accident can be a major disaster. People are becoming very concerned with this fact. Many people are scarred of the effects of Nuclear power.

6. More Facts • In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest-growing source of power in the world. • In 2005 it was the second slowest-growing. • This shows that people are realizing that nuclear power is not the answer.

7. Other sources • Hydroelectric • Wind • Water • Solar Biomass • Gas/oil • Refused based fuel • Hydrogen • Fusion

8. Advantages • Wind • Some advantages of wind powered energy are, wind is free, it is well suited for rural areas. • Solar • Some advantages of solar powered energy are, sunlight is free when available and the cost are dropping.

9. Bad Nuclear Power disasters • Three Mile Island • A reactor coolant leak out, to atmosphere. Some of the fuel was uncovered and partially melted, allowing radioactive fission products to escape. • Picture of Three Mile Island.

10. Other Disasters • The Disaster of Chernobyl • Happened in Ukraine • The fourth reactor exploded releasing radiation and particulate material. • Thirty people died at the site of the explosion, and many more suffered illness as a result of radiation exposure.

11. Closing case • Nuclear power is a very dangerous source. There has been a couple bad disasters such as the accident at Nine Mile Island were the plant blow up. Nuclear power gives off a lot of radiation if spilled that kill lots of people. It also takes so much money to keep nuclear power safe. • There are many reasons why nuclear power is bad that’s why you should vote against this bad source. Let’s save the planet and our lives. • There are many reasons why nuclear power is bad that’s why you should vote against this bad source. Let’s save the planet and our lives.
