Noise analysis was performed at three locations: offices, Laboratories and control rooms near turbine in three electric power stations ( Shupra Elkhiema, Cairo west and Cairo south) . Noise parameters were determined (e.g: LAeq,T, LCeq,T, LC-LA and noise climate L10-L90 for each measurement location. The start of measurements was in Shopra Elkhiema electrical power station, Figure 1 shows the noise spectra measured at control rooms, laboratories and offices within frequency range of 16-250Hz. The
A fossil-fuel power station is a type of power station that burns fossil fuels such as coal,natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity. Central station fossil-fuel power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Fossil fuel power stations have rotating machinery to convert the heat energy of combustioninto mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator. The prime mover may be
Introduction A nuclear energy plant is a power station that produces electricity from nuclear reactions. Like other conventional thermal power stations, nuclear power plants heat up water into steam that is then used to drive power generators. The nuclear reactions involve extremely radioactive elements that contain a lot of energy. These are atoms with an unstable nucleus that continually emit small packets of energy called radiation in an attempt to attain a stable configuration (Timberlake, 2013)
debate on the fuel cycle to the key economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power was held on the 3rd of March 2016 in Coventry University 212GED oil & gas students. My acting role as EdF Witness local employee from Sizewell Nuclear Power Station was to stand in favor of “Pro nuclear”. The debate was to discuss why the committee should agree to deploy a nuclear power station in Heartlepool. Our main concern about the generation of energy by nuclear is the radioactive natural
Introduction Nuclear power plays a hugely important role in the generation of today’s world’s everyday energy needs. Accounting for around 11% of the world’s energy needs, nuclear energy is generally harnessed using uranium as the fuel [1]. Within a nuclear reactor, a neutron collides with a uranium nucleus to induce a chain fission reaction. This is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits to form two separate atoms, with a great quantity of energy being released in the process [2].
Adaptation on Nuclear Power Station --A Case of Hinkley Point C (HPC) Nuclear Power Station Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation on Nuclear Power Station --A Case of Hinkley Point C (HPC)Nuclear Power Station Introduction In November 2008, the United Kingdom parliament adopted a new Climate Change Act, obligating the UK to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 80% below 1990 levels by mid-century (Fankhauser, 2009). Among all sectors, the power sector account for

that it is the main power supplier which gives Eskom a competitive advantage. The company is also in support of Black Economic Empowerment and has a highly skilled workforce. With that said the organisation also has weaknesses and at Eskom an evident weakness is the lack of clear decision making when it comes to policies, such as the Medupi delay caused by poor decision making. Furthermore Eskom has had labour issues like the employee strike during the construction of a power station, this lead to a

Do you think businesses from outside of China should stop trading with and operating in China because of the ethical and environmental issues involved? Many people and pressure groups from outside China argue that businesses like Jaguar Land Rover, should stop trading with and operating in China because of the many ethical and environmental problems that will inevitably arise. The issues that the board of directors need to be aware of and debate are: Workers in the UK and Europe are protected by
