Pros and cons of nuclear power
Hopefully, the following summary of arguments for and against nuclear power can fill this gap:
Advantages of nuclear power generation:
  • Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO ). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little.

Nuclear Power Plant
Located near San Luis Obispo, California
A photo I shot at dawn of goats grazing on the hillside at the Diablo Canyon site.
A large framed copy of this photo hangs in the office of our company President!
Greetings from California's central coast! My name is Jim Zimmerlin (everyone calls me Jim Zim) and I work for In case you're not already familiar with Diablo Canyon, let me just start by saying that the plant is built around two nuclear reactors which each produce 1,100 megawatts of electricity. All told, DCPP cranks out enough power for over two million homes! The plant sits on a gorgeous stretch of the Pacific coast just west of San Luis Obispo, California. Because the plant site is off limits to the public, it's a section of California's coast that most people will never see. But as you continue a little further down the page, I'll show you what you're missing. I'm fairly confident that my view on the way to work in the morning is a lot better than yours! I already mentioned that my years with PG&E began in the mailroom... it was a great introduction to the company and a great way to meet employees throughout the plant. After that, I spent several years on a crew that performed hourly fire inspections throughout the plant. It took me in to the heart of the power plant, and gave me an amazing insider's view of all the little nooks and crannies of plant... everything from the control room down to all the obscure little electrical room equipment rooms that hardly anybody ever sees. In later years I had a great time working in the sign-making shop... was a gopher for the welding crew... worked the telephone switchboard... kept a document library up to date... and I even spent a little time on the "housekeeping" crew doing the real glamorous assignments (!) like emptying trash cans or picking up cigarette butts.

E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, April 15, 2005 by the Australian Nuclear Power is the Problem, Not a Solution by Helen Caldicott There is a huge propaganda push by the nuclear industry to justify nuclear power as a panacea for the reduction of global-warming gases. In fact Leslie Kemeny on these pages two weeks ago (HES, March 30) suggested that courses on nuclear science and engineering be included in tertiary level institutions in Australia. I agree. But I would suggest that all the relevant facts be taught to students. Mandatory courses in medical schools should embrace the short and long-term biological, genetic and medical dangers associated with the nuclear fuel cycle. Business students should examine the true costs associated with the production of nuclear power. Engineering students should become familiar with the profound problems associated with the storage of long-lived radioactive waste, the human fallibilities that have created the most serious nuclear accidents in history and the ongoing history of near-misses and near-meltdowns in the industry. At present there are 442 nuclear reactors in operation around the world. If, as the nuclear industry suggests, nuclear power were to replace fossil fuels on a large scale, it would be necessary to build 2000 large, 1000-megawatt reactors. Considering that no new nuclear plant has been ordered in the US since 1978, this proposal is less than practical. Furthermore, even if we decided today to replace all fossil-fuel-generated electricity with nuclear power, there would only be enough economically viable uranium to fuel the reactors for three to four years.

Nuclear Power Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. But first the energy must be released. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants are very clean and efficient to operate. However, nuclear power plants have some major environmental risks. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive gases. These gases are to be contained in the operation of the plant. If these gases are released into the air, major health risks can occur. Nuclear plants use uranium as a fuel to produce power. The mining and handling of uranium is very risky and radiation leaks can occur. The third concern of nuclear power is the permanent storage of spent radioactive fuel. This fuel is toxic for centuries, handling and disposal is an ongoing environmental issue.
Nuclear Structure
An atom consists of an extremely small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Although typically the nucleus is less than one ten-thousandth the size of the atom, the nucleus contains more than 99.9% of the mass of the atom! Nuclei consist of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons held together by the so-called strong or nuclear force. This force is much stronger than the familiar electrostatic force that binds the electrons to the nucleus, but its range is limited to distances on the order of a few x10-15 meters.

37. History Of Nuclear Power Plant Safety
A time line covering the period from the 1940s to the present day and detailing the development of safety features, practices and systems in nuclear power plants. Includes bibliographic references.
http://users.owt.com/smsrpm/nksafe/
S afety has been an important consideration from the very beginning of the development of nuclear reactors. On December 2, 1942, when the first atomic reactor was brought to criticality, Enrico Fermi had already made safety an important part of the experiment. In addition to a shutoff rod, other emergency procedures for shutting down the pile were prepared in advance. Fermi also considered the safety aspects of reactor operation. Shortly before the reactor was expected to reach criticality, Fermi noted the mounting tension of the crew. To make sure that the operation was carried out in a calm and considered manner, he directed that the experiment be shut down and that all adjourn for lunch. With such leadership in safety at the very beginning, it is no wonder that the operation of reactors to date has such an impressive track record.
The series of WWW pages given here are intended to present a chronology of nuclear safety research and development. Above is a clickable map of a timeline beginning with Fermi's Chicago Pile experiment until today and "beyond." Much of the context does not have the glamour of high profile nuclear industry stories such as the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Instead, the history gives insight into the culture of the scientists, engineers, and technocrats faced with the challenges of a totally new and powerful technology. In the early years, these pioneers wandered into a brave new world of first-of-a-kind research and development. Today, nuclear industry participants must deal with the ramifications of the discussions and actions made by those pioneers.

Will Nuclear Power Put Humans On Mars?
By Greg Clark

Staff Writer
posted: 08:00 am ET 21 May 2000 When it comes to attracting interest in new mission plans to far-out places in the solar system, it is often the wildly futuristic concepts that get the attention. Antimatter propulsion, solar and magnetic sails all make great stories, but such futuristic concepts don't do anything to get humans out to the moon, or Mars, or to various local comets or asteroids within the foreseeable future. With these futuristic technologies barely out of their conceptual phases, practical use of such far-out concepts for human space transportation is decades away at best. So when planners at NASA begin to examine space-travel goals beyond low Earth orbit, beyond 2005 when the International Space Station is scheduled to be complete, they are faced with making bigger, brawnier and incredibly more expensive versions of the chemical rockets in use today.
