There are more than 400 nuclear power plants around the world, with more than 100 in the United States.
As soon as the nucleus hits the neutron, it splits into two more atoms and throws off two new neutrons. The two new atoms then emit gamma radiation as they go into their new states.
This Shows How A Nuclear Power Station Works.
Power plants use heat supplied by a fuel to boil water and make steam, which tells a generator to make electricity.
Evidence For
Source 1
This source tells us that Nuclear Power has no contribution to global warming and it doesn’t produce of any gas that’s harmful to the earth. I think that this source is reliable because the website was made by the energy information administration – official energy statistics from the U.S government.
Source 2
This Source shows that Nuclear Power does give off some gas and has little effect to global warming instead on none. I think that this source is not reliable due to it not having a scientist or professional scientist listed who said this quote.
Evidence Against
Source 1
This source shows that Nuclear Power may come across as a good thing but is actually hazarders to the environment. I think that this source is not reliable because I don’t think this website has proper information and this source doesn’t tell me how they know about the problems and if they are tested.
Source 2
This source shows that Nuclear Power is expensive to build whereas if you build a gas-fuelled power station you would save a lot of money and you would be having the same thing. I think this source is not reliable because it looks as though the website has been made by a person who hates nuclear power
Conclusion
The research I have done shows that Nuclear Power does not make an effect on global warming but it does cost a lot of money to build just one nuclear power station but overall is better for global warming.
Source one in evidence for shows that nuclear power does not have any contribution to global warming as it does not emit any gas that is harmful to the earth.
Source two in evidence for shows us that nuclear power gives off little or any harmful gas but has little effect on global warming as to none.
Source one in evidence against shows us that Nuclear Power may come across as a good thing but is actually hazarders to the environment.
Source two in evidence against shows us that Nuclear Power is expensive to build whereas if you build a gas-fuelled power station you would save a lot of money and you would be having the same thing
I think that the best source is source 1 for Nuclear Power because it was made by the energy information administration – official energy statistics from the U.S government so it proves it is not just someone who likes nuclear power but actual facts about nuclear power.
I think that even though one quarter of my sources are unreliable it still shows that there are people in the world who are trying to get their point across about nuclear power, whether bad or good. I think that the debate about whether nuclear power is a bad or good thing will go on for a very long time as to the fact that their are some major advantages and some major disadvantages to nuclear power stations.
