Essays on Nuclear Energy

Introduction

One of the largest and most controversial topics pertaining to nationwide and homeland security is the issue concerning nuclear weapons. Being one of the most deadly and effective war tactic known to man, nuclear arsenals have the potential to wipe out a major part, if not all, of humankind and as such they pose a major threat to countries and societies at large. It is interesting—and quite alarming—to note that even though people are majorly aware of the destruction that nuclear weapons have, most of the major countries keep a nuclear arsenal for potential use in military ...

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution. Thus, nations that came under Nazi or Japanese attack in the eve of the Second World War declared a state of emergency and made sweeping changes to their national policies. These changes had far-reaching impacts on the functioning of the arms of governments and the entire nation had to suspend various activities to implement the policies in response to the crises. However, after World War II, significant events have been considered as turning points in national ...

In 2002, nuclear energy accounted for 17% of the energy produced in the world. Currently, U.S has the highest number of nuclear plants in the world and it produced ~798 billion kWh of nuclear energy in 2015. Still, nuclear energy accounts for only 19% of the total energy produced in the U.S. France produces 80% of its energy from nuclear plants, and is able to meet all its energy needs ("World Statistics - Nuclear Energy Institute"). Further, except for the initial infrastructure, the cost of generating nuclear energy is attractively cheap. Majority of the electricity in U. S, is ...

The nuclear energy is a relatively cheap energy source for the increasing energy needs. Nowadays, it is relatively safe energy in terms of technology. This means, that the current state of the nuclear plants have the technical ability to control the nuclear fission, project accidents, and some of the disasters. The nuclear industry is constantly improving its safety. The potential problem is the increasing quantity of the spent nuclear fuel. The facilities with high-level safety are required to store the spent nuclear fuel. The design of the facilities requires prediction of the various unexpected situations, including natural disasters, under ...

Question 1: Definition of Environmental Sustainability

The aspect of sustainability entails the ability to carry on a defined practice or behavior for an indefinite period. Sustainability is an emerging concept that is often associated with the environment. According to the United Nations, the sustainability of the environment entails the development that satisfies the requirements of the current population without interfering with the interests of the future generations. Most environmental organizations such as the National Environmental Health Commission (NEHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concur with the definition provided by the United Nations. However, EPA’s definition includes the need to identify the benefits and ...

Description

Ideally, nuclear power refers to the energy released by nuclear plants through processes of fusion and fission. Nuclear energy uses fuel generated from mined and processed uranium to produce steam and generate electricity. The process of producing electricity through nuclear reactors is relatively similar to the way other plants produce electric energy (Ferguson 40). Specifically, the nuclear power station converts the nuclear energy in uranium particles into electricity by splitting the atoms to create heat. The heat is used to turn turbines that are connected to a generator. Subsequently, the generator produces electricity. The main advantage of nuclear energy ...

Introduction

This paper is devoted to the issue of Chernobyl nuclear disaster. This accident has happened in 1986, 26th of April on the eve of the May Day holidays. It has happened on the territory of the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (now it is the territory of Ukraine). The place of the accident is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that is located three kilometers from the city Pripyat, eighteen kilometers from the city Chernobyl and eighty three – from Kiev, current capital of Ukraine. According to the official data more than 600 thousands of people have been injured by ...

Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The World Conservation Strategy published in 1980 served as prelude to the conception of this notion, as the UN recognized the importance of minimizing the impact of human activity over the earth’s ecosystems and adopting models inclined towards sustainability ...

Nuclear power is undoubtedly the most sophisticated and economically viable source of energy in today’s modern world. Its technology is among the most sought after by several nations because of its versatility as a beneficial source of energy and as a weapon of mass destruction. The advantages of nuclear power extend to several aspects of ecological preservation where greenhouse gas emission for instance is minimized when using nuclear energy as compared to traditional coal-powered energy. On the other hand, the risks involve in nuclear power supersedes its perceived benefits. For one, Uranium mining in which uranium is obtained ...

Methods

The search or an alternative source of energy is needed due to the increasing populations of the world, higher demand in electricity and the depletion of the resources of the Earth. The whole scope of the available solutions was available through the study of journals, scientific magazines, online articles and periodicals, and books on the topic of applying alternative sources of energy so as to find the best possible solution In view of the global warming problem, this issue has been extensively studied by many scientists. I will utilize their vision on some available alternatives.

This is needed in order to determine which solution will best mitigate and facilitate the solution to the problem.

It is widely believed that nuclear energy continues to grow only because of the industrial lobby from companies and corporations that manufacture equipment for nuclear plants and organizations, as well as government officials, who are associated with the nuclear industry. The first advantage is that using nuclear energy can reduce fossil fuel consumption. But the biggest problem is that despite the safety systems of nuclear power plants the human aspect has always an impact on a nuclear accident and nobody can guarantee that disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima will not happen again. Nuclear waste is a ...

The results of the study have shown that the two most feasible sources of energy available to man are the solar and nuclear energy. If there is an already working serial production of the devices needed for the capture of solar energy, and already examples of the installation of such systems throughout the world, the future of nuclear energy is not so clear (Seba). Now the most innovative reactors are built in the USA and Japan. These are the reactor of the third generation (Murray and Holbert). However, scientists are claiming they have invented a way to re-use the ...

Iran and Nuclear Power

This paper focuses on the widely debated issue on the Iran deal considering it as a policy that will define the manner in which Iran will develop its nuclear energy program. Essentially, the argument will take a serious approach thus defending a position to the effect that the Iran deal, as a matter of policy, is essentially flawed. Importantly, it will also adopt a logical approach in order to underscore the gaps which would lead to a future crisis. Indeed, as afore mentioned, the Iran deal is a badly thought idea that uses naivety to as a tool of ...

Fossil fuels refer to those sources of energies which are underneath the earth surface as a result of the decomposition of the dead plant and animal remains. They include coal, oil, natural gas and others. The excessive use of these fuels led to diverse impacts on the natural environment, which can be seen through increasing rate of global warming. For that reason, the paper, therefore, aims at coming up with different alternatives which will help in stopping the use of fossil fuels in Japan. The plan has been developed to assist the islands which are commonly affected by the ...

Nuclear energy is undisputedly a very paramount source of energy in first world countries, Japan included. It involves sophisticated nuclear fission that yields energy. It has been argued that it is not a good source of energy by some internationally known agencies like Forbes. Nuclear power generation in Japan has encountered changes following the tragedy in Fukushima in 2011 for reactor plants being erected so close to the ocean where they are vulnerable to tsunamis. The impacts of the tragedy were felt in the economic as well as political sector. The welfare economics of the state went down because ...

In a nuclear power plant, fission produces energy in the Nuclear Steam Supply System that turns water into steam. The steam turns turbines connected to an electricity generator as shown in figure 1 in the index attached (Farris). Electricity produced in this form has both pros and cons

Advantages

Maehlum noted that although the initial cost of a nuclear plant is high, the source of energy to run it (fission of uranium) is low. The only significant cost is the maintenance of the facility, enriching the uranium, and disposing of the waste. Moreover, nuclear energy has little pollution effect on ...

The Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco), which now also includes all states in the Caribbean just turned 40 years since signature in 1967. Its importance as a model for other non-nuclear areas, is constant to peace and international securities contribution, which stood and continue placing today in the center of the political and legal interest. Its parallelism with the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) but without Latin American treaty has affected the principle of legal equality of States and has not been an expression of "unequal rights and ...

The Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Treaty refers to an international treaty that its main objective is the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons technology and nuclear weapons. This is with an aim to promotion cooperation in the use of nuclear energy in peaceful ways and to achieve nuclear disarmament. It was signed 1968, and its enforcement started in 1970. The life of the Treaty was in 1995 extended indefinitely. As of date, the Treaty has been joined by 190 parties. This includes five nuclear-weapon states (Black-Branch, & Dieter, 22). The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was established in ...

In early 2011, an earthquake hit the Northeastern part of Japan and tsunami ensued. The tsunami breached a nuclear power plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company at Fukushima Daiichi. The damage caused to the plant ignited interest in safety of nuclear power plants. In the United States, the electricity generation industry conducted in depth reviews of the Fukushima disaster in order to fortify its nuclear plants from similar misfortunes. Based on the findings established from the review, nuclear plants have taken measures in the last five years to ramp up safety. To verify the safety of nuclear plants ...

Introduction

Concerns with avoiding the adverse consequences of Global Warming and the effects of Climate Change has increased significantly over the past decades (Deutch et al.). The leading economies such as the United States are still reluctant to adopt comprehensive climate change policies despite pledging to do so. Nor has there been an agreement with the emerging rapidly-growing economies such as India, South Korea, China, Indonesia, and Mexico on the mechanisms to adopt Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emission constraints (US Energy Information Administration [EIA]). With Global emissions of GHGs projected to continue to increase, there is the added urgency to not ...

Re: extended definition of solar power and nuclear power

Purpose This memo is an extended definition of solar power and nuclear power as sources of energy. Introduction Solar power is energy from the sun. This energy is harnessed by collecting sunlight and converting it to electricity (Winter et al. 4). The cells found in the solar panels make this conversion possible. The conversion of sunlight to electricity can either be done indirectly by the use of a concentrated solar panel or directly by use of the photovoltaic cell. Nuclear power, on the other hand, utilizes nuclear reactions to produce nuclear energy (Murray 495). This energy is found in ...

1.0 Introduction and Background Information Nuclear power and energy has become very useful in the economics of the modern world. Whereas the energy can help to achieve enormous benefits, it cannot be disputed that the inherent hazards are potentially dangerous (Greenberg 63). These dangers are evoked by the nuclear wastes produced after the energy is produced and utilized (Strandberg 87). In principle, such waste is radioactive in nature implying that it remains active over a long period of time. As such, it becomes fundamentally vital to ensure that the nuclear waste management is concrete and undoubtedly reliable (Miller 84). ...

Abstract

The emerging power security issues appear to be severe for the United Kingdom. The public body of the United Kingdom apparently is engaged in leaving the gasoline provisions fulfilled through interferences of the marketplace in terms of the green rule and renewable assistances. The stated situation is solely meeting a trivial proportion of issues. The public authorities of the United Kingdom showed a potential aspiring thinking about the forthcoming periods of protected power. The government of the United Kingdom proposed growth of renewables, power effective infrastructure, and potential policy currents with an anticipation that they will definitely pacify the ...

Modern civilization is inconceivable without electricity. The development and use of electricity increases every year, but humanity can already feel the coming energy shortage due to depletion of deposits of fossil fuels and the increasing environmental losses when receiving electricity. The energy released in nuclear reactions is million times higher than energy received from ordinary chemical reactions (such as combustion reaction), so that the calorific value of the fuel is immeasurably greater than conventional fuels. Use of nuclear fuel for power generation is an extremely attractive idea. The advantages of nuclear power plants before heat and hydro power plants ...

Solving Social Problems: Solar Energy in Rural India

The developing world grapples with the lack of access to electricity. Third world countries have poor electrical infrastructure which is still in the nascent stages of development. As a result, majority of people, especially those living in rural areas, have no access to electricity. The reach of the electrical grid in countries is limited to towns, and the poor who have access to electrical power supply suffer frequent and prolonged power blackouts. As a result, people in such countries result to unclean and unhealthy means of lighting, such as kerosene and diesel generators. The kerosene lamps cause respiratory problems ...

Elimination of Subsidies for all Energy Alternatives

I agree with the proposal to eliminate government subsidies for all energy alternatives so that all energy providers can compete in a free market economy. My rationale for agreeing with this proposal is that providing subsidies is a retrogressive economic policy that allows the government to prop one sector of the energy industry at the expense of other sectors. Rather than foster competition, government subsidies will give alternative energy investors unfair price advantages over other energy providers. Moreover, subsidies will cause the alternative energy sector to become less cost competitive and encourage unhealthy dependency on preferential treatment from the ...

Virtual Reality

Importance of Virtual Reality Virtual reality is a powerful tool that has a great impact on the world and people’s lives. Creating the illusion of different space that could meet any desirable requirements virtual reality allows its use for training, communication, and treatment. It is not just a simulator of one or another situation; virtual reality creates a full-immersion effect influencing on the all five senses of a human. It reproduces “the actual experience, combining vision, sound, touch, and feelings of motion engineered to give the brain a realistic set of sensations” [1]. Due to the seeming realness ...

[Class Title]

Introduction Some scholars view energy as an abstract concept that could not be defined by any physical parameters (Lehrman 15). There are those who even admit that they do not know the scientific meaning of energy because it cannot be seen or touched or smelled except that it can only be imagined through its effects. For the same reason, some scholars refrain to define energy to avoid being misconstrued. Engineers, however, need an operational definition for energy in order to apply its concept in many engineering applications such as in mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Engineers, especially during ...

Dear Ms. Chatham,

I write to intimate you of my proposed topic for my research work. I am Hamid Rashid Araghi studying Petroleum Engineering and in my [XXX] level of study.

ENERGY RELATIONS

Introduction The US and Canada have been supporter and challenger, associate and adversary, foe and friend- throughout their history. As a result, the two nations have experienced durations of conflict with one country’s national interests dictating actions that caused adverse effects on the other (Behiels and Stuart 2010; Andreas 2013). Since the 1980s, however, the two nations have increased their energy relations through integration and cooperation (Hooper and Newlands 2012). As such, significant issues have often been resolved through negotiated compromise. Nonetheless, some US-Canada trade relations have been unsuccessful. For example, although the two nations are widely known ...

The movie that is going to be discussed for the purposes of current critique paper is a documentary “Chernobyl uncensored”. Another name for the film is “The Battle of Chernobyl”. Using the testimonies of Chernobyl disaster’s witnesses, materials from video archives and the photographs of a famous Chernobyl photographer Igor Kostin, the creators of the film revisited the large-scale nuclear incident at Chernobyl power plant that took place in 1986. I chose the film for review due to two reasons. First of all, it is necessary to remember that the Chernobyl disaster was the most significant nuclear power ...

Economic growth and environmental degradation cannot be separated. According to the World Commission on Environment and Development (1987), the world has experienced decreased infant mortality, high literacy rates, elevated food production and several other positive development outcomes in the past few decades. However the same processes that led to these outcomes have also resulted in environmental changes that Mother Nature can no longer bear (Diamond 2003; WCED, 1987). Fast economic growth and development in the recent past has led to deforestation, increased pollution (water, soil, and air), soil erosion and desertification. The effect of global warming and a depleting ...

The main arguments and or thesis that the author is trying to convey or convince of me is that there is a very high risk that comes to be of hazard to the environment and the biodiversity that comes from the radioactive wastes. On one side , the pros that comes as a result of the production of nuclear power and the use of nuclear energy and products looks very lucrative and this makes the discussions about the risk involved when investing on this area to be generally risky. There are a number of strategies that have also been put ...

One of the greatest threats currently faced by humanity is that of a deteriorating environment. For the last several decades, pollution has become a major concern for many countries worldwide. One of the greatest contributors to severe pollution are fossil fuels. Because of their accessibility and availability, they are the most widely used energy resource. Whole societies rely on these fossil fuels to provide them with heat, electricity, and consequently all other important aspects of daily life. On the other hand, in recent decades we have also seen the rise of nuclear energy. While it is renewable, cleaner, cheaper, ...

The nuclear power is a prospective source of generating energy to be utilized in all sectors worldwide. Mark Lynas’s article, “Why Greens must Learn to Love Nuclear Power”, Nina Rastogi’s article, “The Nuclear Option: Is Nuclear Energy Clean and Green?” and Nils-Axel Morner’s research article “Nuclear power and radioactive contamination” focuses strongly on the nuclear power with the deleterious effects and also the misconceptions associated with it. The nuclear power is a profitable solution and there are many reasons that justify it to be at a better edge over renewable and non-renewable resources. In order to ...

Should Nuclear Energy Projects in France Qualify for Green Bond Financing?

Abstract The following is a first progress statement for my proposed Master’s Thesis “Should Nuclear Energy Projects in France Qualify for Green Bond Financing?” This writing details the steps I have followed in choosing this field of study and research topic. The premise of my proposed thesis is that while recognizing the importance of green technologies, and the advent of green bonds as a useful financing mechanism in support of the same, there is an apparent trend towards excluding the well-established nuclear industry in France from participation in the green bond market, in favor of other renewable energy ...

Introduction

Canada is among the leading nations with vast supply of low carbon energy sources. The country enjoys no and low carbon energy sources including hydropower, wind, biomass, nuclear power as well as power generated from the waves at the coastal regions. This implies that the energy supply in Canada considerably meets the demands in the community and outside the nation. Such steps make it possible to avoid reliance on the carbon emitting sources of energy that have in the recent years faced criticism from the public and regulatory agencies. However, even with the abundant supply of the no and ...

Introduction

Security of people in the United States remains one of the top priorities of President Barack Obama’s government. It is thus therefore not unusual to find the United States in conflict with nations which tend to threaten world peace. The Iranian and Syrian conflicts are some of the latest examples of this situation. This is because the two nations are suspected to be in possession of nuclear plants which pose a threat to the safety of many people around the world.

Stakeholders in the Nuclear Energy Sector

The major stakeholders in the nuclear community comprise of national regulatory authorities, industrialists, and environmentalists. Other stakeholders include ...

There are two main reasons why nuclear energy has been attractive in the discussions of global energy supply. One major reason is the problem of global warming which is the major cause of climate change. For the past 100 years, the earth’s temperature has been increasing due to the gradual increase of heat waves which were trapped in the atmosphere because of the large amounts of greenhouse gases (Cravens 8). There are many problems and treats that are associated with global warming such as societal, economic and environmental problems. Another main reason is the reduced dependency on fossil ...

The variability of stars existing within our universe represents diversity and uniqueness. Humanity may not observe the whole life of a single star, however, techniques have been proposed to study the stars. We have different ways how to measure a star's temperature, age, and mass even, even though it seems impossible. The said variability of stars is key to the measurement of a star's characteristics. The existence of variable stars suggests that stars change on a time interval, unfortunately, too long humanity cannot observe. Nevertheless, humanity have developed a way of understanding the stars through their variability. Needless to say, variability provides unique ...

In the United States, power is generated from various sources. In 2014 alone, 4,093 billion KWh units were produced. The majority of these came from fossil fuels while renewable energy sources accounted for around 17%. The high percentage of fossil fuels used for electric power generation as compared to renewable energy sources leads to a more a pronounced environmental impact. The table below shows the percentage of the total power produced by the four major energy sources in 2014.

Electricity produced by the steam generation in the cylinder of the balloon heated by solar radiation. The problem of extraction and processing of solar energy has long worried about the minds of ...

Introduction

Most advancement in sciences and technology would not be possible without the use and conversion of energy from one form to another. Thus, thermodynamic principles are considered fundamental laws of energy and relevant to the development of the society at large. This study considers thermodynamics as it concerns different forms of energy, their conversion, and usage.

Laws of Thermodynamics

The laws of thermodynamics emphasize on particular phenomena that describe the relation of energy with matter (Kanoglu, Cengel, & Dincer, 2012). Thermodynamics laws define the amount of physical parameters such as temperature, entropy and energy that characterize a thermodynamic system. These laws also refer the ...

UN POSITION ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS

There are more than two dozen countries of the world that have nuclear power, however, only a few have nuclear weapons and few are suspected of making nuclear weapons. During the cold war era between US and USSR, nuclear arms race was the most alarming feature as both the super powers rapidly built up their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. Later when both realized, there would be devastation caused by nuclear weapons, they embarked upon a number of agreements for reduction in the number of nuclear weapons. Efforts were speeded up after disintegration of the USSR; however, the issues remained a major challenge ...

Supporters of the amendment claim that nuclear energy serves an important role in the energy mix because it helps in meeting the future generation’s energy demands. Proponents of the policy’s amendment claim that nuclear power provides clean energy because using nuclear energy does not destroy the ozone layer through emission of greenhouse gasses. Those who support amending the policy claim that nuclear power provides a solution to sustainable energy because producers can achieve continuous production of nuclear energy. Opponents believe that the nuclear power has dangerous effects on human beings because the process of producing energy involves ...

Nuclear power is seen as a potential source of energy to many countries. One of the advantages is that it has less carbon dioxide in the production process. This is an improvement to the environment and has better conservation to the environment. This is an important aspect in energy production. Another advantage is that it has lower costs of operations. This is coupled with the fact that there is large capacity and potential to generate large power that will be used for industrial purposes. There are also the high possibilities of recycling power waste in this power source. There is ...

Business

Introduction Renewable energy has been a talking point in the recent years with the dependence of carbon fuels increasing among countries. Other factors like the depletion of the ozone layer and long lasting health effects as a result of use of nuclear energy has led to the rise of the bio fuels industry as a suitable and dependable replacement for the other sources of fuel. Biomass industries in Germany are currently playing a very significant role in the production of energy and are predicted to very key contributors in the coming years. The industry is not only important as far as energy ...

As the population of the world grows continuously from year to year, the consumption of finished goods and services grows respectively; however, the factors of production are limited nowadays, and the humanity is currently in a desperate repeating search of more sources, technology and information. One of the main sub-divisions of the sources` question is the one of energy supply. Contemporary scholars agree that the most potential in supplying the humanity with energy has the nuclear energy; however, they accept that it should be treated with the highest possible responsibility and safety measures. The argument of implementing such energy and ...

Abstract

Renewable energy may be the future for the United States of America, particularly as the economic situation in the United States changes. The United States of America has to change the way it interacts with the world and the level of consumerism that it engages in, particularly insofar as the topic of renewable energy is concerned. Renewable energy sources come in many different forms, and making a few necessary changes to the current set of regulatory bodies in the United States could, conceivably, change the overall future of the United States of America in terms of renewable energy sources.

The population of Germany refers to the "golden billion" of developed countries, and the average German consumes much more than people in developing countries: energy in 20 times more Indian, steel in 100 times more than Filipino, aluminum by 15 times more than resident of Argentina. And all this in a very limited area. On this relatively small area focused exclusively concentrated powerful potential of the most polluting industries: coal mining, steel, great chemistry. In West Germany 19 operating nuclear power plants, it permeates the most dense network of roads. In the cities motor exhaust fumes give more ½ of all ...

Introduction

Freedman’s commentary of nuclear deterrence being, C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas la stratégie or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not strategy’ in English, may have been coined from the famous remark of French Marshal Pierre Bosquet while watching the British light cavalry wipe itself out in The Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava in the Crimean War of 1854 in which he exclaimed, “C'est Magnifique, Mais Ce N'est Pas La Guerre” or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not war’. In a similar note, Freedman is implying that the possession of nuclear weapons ...
