This disaster could have defiantly been much worse. For many people, Fukushima delivered the devastating conclusion of what could potentially happen in the future. On the bright side, the Triple Disaster also exposed Japan’s most valuable asset: the power of its civil society. The world watched in astonishment as Japanese civilians who had lost everything, immediately bolted to lend a helping hand to one another. “The dignity, creativity, and orderly response of the Japanese population to this mega

informed and educated on how accidents like these affect their lives. Chernobyl was the largest uncontrolled radioactive release ever recorded for any civilian operation. Chernobyl had four reactors, which were run on low power making them very unstable. There was a huge power surge which increased the heat in reactor number four. The increased heat set off a chain of events that couldn’t be controlled. Pipes began to rupture as well making the prefect condition for two major explosions. Most other nuclear

Disasters are a series of disruptions involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and effects, which exceeds the capability of that affected community to cope up with its already present resources. Disasters have been happening ever since the beginning of time. Every disaster can be classified as either a human caused disaster which basically involves the negligence or irresponsibility of one single person or a group of people, or natural caused disasters. Natural disasters

Pollution has always been a problem in modern American society. As more cities pop up, the negative effect pollution has on society and the environment increases. In particular, the way plastic waste has hurt the organisms in the world’s oceans. The tons of plastic waste dumped into oceans has lead to many people calling for the government to make a solution to this problem. One solution for this plastic waste problem came in the form of two individuals: Jim Holm and Swaminathan Ramesh. These two

of energy. It wouldn’t be practical to power cars with nuclear energy, nor would it be efficient to use nuclear energy in a location dominated by flowing rivers where hydroelectric power would prove more effective. Additionally, locating a nuclear reactor on a fault line would be an accident waiting to happen, almost setting up the site to fail. In 2012, when a tsunami struck Japan, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant lost power and could no longer cool its turbines, which caused a meltdown of the

Donepezil hydrochloride is the active ingredient in the prescription drug Aricept, a common drug used to treat mild, moderate, and severe Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It is a reversible inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Increased levels of acetylcholine are believed to relieve the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. Donepezil hydrochloride is known chemically by the IUPAC name 2,3-dihydro-5,

Disposal – Again a massive problem as the spent Nuclear Rods of Nuclear Reactors are prohibitively costly and difficult to dispose of. Spent nuclear fuel is initially very highly radioactive and so must be handled with great care and forethought. (10'000 years according to United States Environmental Protection Agency standards).There is no foolproof way to dispose nuclear waste fuel after it is used in the Nuclear Reactors. The area around Nuclear Waste Sites can be dangerous to humans for hundreds

The Power Crisis in Tamil Nadu Viable Remedial Measure to Over Come K Chandrasekar1* C Bharath Kumar2 Load shedding which was originally meant for an hour or so, has now been extended to Abstract: Electric generation system in Tamil Nadu is suffering with a serious problem of load shedding, power shortage due industrial and technological development without having any proper intension for increasing the resource of power. But we have the immense resource to fulfill our power need. As India is subtropical

As the threat of climate change continues to grow the world is desperately looking for an alternative source of energy. There are numerous promising replacements, but nuclear energy is by far the most opposed. Despite the fact that Australia has never contained any nuclear power plants, uranium produced energy and mining have been a highly debated topic in the continent for decades due to the concern over safety and economics. If the aim is to reduce the climate impact of electric power generation

population from radiation through resettlement and also by making limitations (Chapman Morris). By 2000 the last reactor was shut down (Wikipedia). Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union advised pregnant women to undergo abortions to avoid bearing children with birth effects or other possible disorders (Lallanilla Marc). There are still 200 tons of radioactive materials that remain in the reactor that exploded (Wikipedia). A few hundred resident of Chernobyl have returned back to there home knowing the
