BOOM! That’s the sound of a nuclear bomb going exploding‚ and a split second after a person hears that sound he most likely will be turned into a bed of ashes by the wall of fire that’s coming towards him at 100 mph. If he’s not burnt to a crisp by this great wall of fire‚ he will be killed by the nuclear fallout that will eat him alive starting from the inside and working its way out. There are many other nuclear weapons besides the atom bomb that kill‚ for example mustard gas. Mustard gas was used

matter on what we should do about nuclear weapons in the world. We must measure these benefits and drawbacks to determine which decision is the best for future security of our country.

Nuclear Power Stations 8.4.1: The firing of neutron at a heavy nucleus may result in the nucleus splitting‚ releasing free neutrons and lighter nuclei; which can then collide with other nuclei and resulting in the same process. This is a fission chain reaction. 8.4.2: In a fission reaction‚ if you can remove the emitted neutrons from the fissionable material‚ then you can control the rate at which the chain reaction proceeds. A fission reaction whereby the reaction is allowed to proceed without

Nuclear energy has a significant role in the economy. The nuclear energy industry leads to job creation and economic growth. 400 to 700 permanent jobs are required by the operation of one nuclear power plant (Nuclear Energy Institute‚ 2014). There are more than 63‚000 highly skilled workers involved in the civil nuclear industry throughout the UK. In addition‚ there over 80‚000 jobs linked to the industry directly or indirectly (Nuclear Industry Association‚ n.d.). Nevertheless‚ a large amount of
