Should Australia Use Nuclear Powered Submarines

Nuclear power plants should be legal in Australian as they pose many advantages. Such as high money income and cleaner power source than coal power. This essay will argue that nuclear power plants in Australia should be legalised.

This separation presented communication and data-sharing challenges. Furthermore, the new design contained a number of technical risks, one of them was designing a submarine that would operate in a manner and environment very different from what Kockums was accustomed to. The risk resulted fuel system has been proven to be problematic. Swedish submarines have short patrols in calm, relatively fresh water. When a similar design was used in the salty, open water in which Australian submarines operate, water was sucked into the engine causing failure. Moreover, the RAN submarines transit greater distance and are on station for months at time, which has number of implications for fuel storage, hotel service, and other hull design features. The difference in operation concept and environment ultimately led to some equipment and system decision during design that caused problems with operations and supportability.

They soon discovered the submarines bow planes were buried; the bow tanks full of sand. The propellers were torn off, steering gear ruined, stern tanks flooded, and all the hatches were desperately jammed.

Submarines are basically a watercraft cable of independent operation under water.It is different from a submersible that has more limited underwater capability. Beginning in ancient times, humans sought to operate under water. From simple submersibles to nuclear-powered underwater behemoths, people have searched for a means to remain safely underwater to gain the advantage in warfare, resulting in the development of the submarine. It was first built in 1620. Today's attack and ballistic submarines are made from special steel and/or titanium that are needed to withstand the pressures of the 1,000' depths at which they operate. US submarines use a hi-pressure, flexible steel known as HY-100, while the Russian boats are made from very expensive titanium.

Submarines, also known as U-boats. This U-boat was able to attack ships underwater without being spotted. The only Major problem is that it broke the International law. When the Germans attack a neutral ship, they are supposed to warn them beforehand but

A submarine is defined as “something that functions or operates underwater; specifically: a naval vessel designed to operate underwater.” This definition holds true today but started at the beginning of the Civil War when submarines originally became a popular choice of weaponry. In general, submarine crews were composed of a commander, who steered the boat, and six or more men who used hand cranks to move the boat. Many inventors intended on creating electric motors to move the boat, but they were unable to produce enough torque. Submarines were primarily used in combat because they could travel invisibly. Innovations like submarines did not just change the way people fought wars–they also changed the way people lived.

Since its discovery in the late 19th century, nuclear energy has been used in a diversity of areas such as atomic bombs, medicine, reducing pollution and food irradiation (Gupta, 2012). However, one of the biggest outcomes since this discovery is nuclear energy generation. This subject is largely controversial as it has many pros and cons. It is considered to be a more eco-friendly alternative source of electricity, as it emits less carbon emissions than coal-fired power stations, for example. Yet there still an environmental risk provided by the radio-active waste and its inability to be disposed of for 100,000 years (Phillips, 2012). Today in Australia there are no active nuclear power plants but that is predicted to change in the

ows it to continuously patrol the world’s seas for many years without requiring to be refueled.Another advantage to this type of source of power is that does not require big bulky engines, which enables the submarine to move more swiftly and stealthily; as well as provide more room and storage for supplies.[3]

"Nuclear submarines use nuclear reactors, steam turbine, and reduction gearing to drive the main propeller"(Works). All old submarines used snorkels so they where very close to the surface of the ocean so they were very vulnerable to airplane attacks "Some have batteries to make them run off electric power but they have to be charged using either diesel or a nuclear reactor"(Works). Nuclear submarines have a advantage because nuclear submarines can be submerged for weeks or months on end and not have to surface. Another thing is that nuclear fuel lasts much longer that diesel fuel so they can stay at sea and not have to port for fuel (Works). Diesel engines can only work when surfaced or use a snorkel so the engine can breath. The Diesel engine submarines just surface to get the batteries charged than go back below the

Women sailors serving on submarines alongside male sailors is cause for debate. The belief is that both can do the same job equally, of course they can, but this is not the problem. The real problem are the issues that arise when both genders are secluded for 90 days aboard a submarine that is compartmentalized. Families are torn apart by infidelity, Sometimes privacy is invaded, careers are destroyed, and it is cost prohibitive.

The worse thing that could happen is for you to sink on a ship. But with a submarine, that exactly what you want! The purpose of my science fair project was to find out how the presence or absence of a stabalazing fin will affect the movement and funcntion of the submarine. I was also trying to find out what fin position is the best for the submarine to move properely as desired. My hypothesis was that the submarine will need a fin to move and function properly, so that it doesn’t go out of control.

A submarine can float due to the weight of the water that it displaces are equal to the weight of the ship. The displacement of the water creates an upward force which is commonly known as buoyant force, which acts in opposition to gravity which would pull the submarine down to the sea floor. A submarine can control its buoyancy, allowing the ship to sink and surface when necessary thus allowing the ship to be hidden from the enemy.

The subs have to withstand the high pressure that would crush a human like a tin can. It would set of like a stick of dynamite. One landers ship imploded and they could hear the explosion from the surface thankfully the lander survived. They brought up some of the new species to the surface to take some tests on them but unfortunately none of the new species survived the long trip back to the surface.

Nuclear power is a very intriguing alternative energy source. I find that the more that I learn about nuclear power, the more I realize that my knowledge has just skimmed the surface of what there is to know about the energy source. The most surprising fact about nuclear power that Mycle Schneider mentioned in one of his interviews was that all nuclear reactors have a life expectancy. On average, the typical nuclear reactor has an operational design basis of approximately 40 years. As of right now, the average age of all operational nuclear reactors worldwide is approximately 28.5 years old. This means that within the next decade, we could begin to see the majority of these nuclear plants being decommissioned. Therefore, when the time comes,

(Many atomic reactors outfit dependable and adaptable shipboard force: military boats obviously. Be that as it may, the innovation is versatile to non military personnel sea transport.)
