  1. Safety of Nuclear Power By Alex Clark English-250-RK

  2. Background on Nuclear Power • Nuclear power has been around since 1951 • 104 nuclear reactors currently in use by the United States • Nuclear power accounts for 19% of total electrical output • Currently 594 coal plants producing 57% power for the US

  3. Why Safety is so Important • Nuclear accidents are very costly • Three Mile Island • Chernobyl • Fukushima Aftermath of meltdown in Chernobyl- Provided by Bing Fukushima – provided by Bing

  4. Nuclear Regulations and Safety • Extremely important to have strict regulations when dealing with something as powerful as nuclear reactors • Very regulated, supposed to withstand any natural disaster • The power plants are build like military bunkers, allowing them to take as much damage as anyone can throw at it, and not melt down/be damaged

  5. Reasons for Nuclear Energy • For only having 104 nuclear plants, it produces 20% of the US’s power. • The only deaths in Nuclear energy are when serious accidents occur.

  6. Nuclear Waste • Once the Uranium goes through the reactors, it becomes unusable for the next 100 years • Radioactive, and must be stored somewhere underground as to not pollute surrounding areas • Current methods of storage is encasing the radioactive waste in barrels surrounded by concrete and placed in a asdfasdfasdf underground facility

  7. How to use Nuclear Energy • Heavier and more strict regulations • Fast breed reactors to dispose of waste • Currently underdeveloped, but with more research could be the solution to nuclear waste
