1)Various pollutions caused for environmental change 2)The decrease of resources→We need to develop green energy
What is nuclear power?
1)Use controlled nuclear reactions to get power, heat and electrical energy.
2)Nuclear energy in the reactor is converted into heat.
3)Heat turns water into steam to trigger the generator.
Why do we have to use it?
1) Because of global oil & colliery depletion, we need much cleaner energy.2) It doesn’t release harmful gases 3) Greenhouse effect won’t be intensified.
Disadvantages
1) High cost of plant construction2) Thermal pollution3) Radioactive contamination4) Problem of nuclear waste
1. The first nuclear plant was built in 19702. There are 3 plants in Taipei County and 1 in Hengchun, Pingtung County.
Questions
1) What do you think about nuclear power? Is it good or bad for us?
