Reading
The 20th century saw the use of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil as the predominant sources of energy for our society. But, with their use have come a number of serious problems, such as their limited availability and the question of global warming. Nuclear energy must be seen as the solution, as the next logical step in the evolution of energy production.
First, the fuel that powers nuclear power plants is cheap compared to the fossil fuels we currently use to supply most of our energy needs. Because it exists in such abundant supplies, a unit of fuel used in nuclear power plants costs about 7 dollars. This unit produces the same amount of energy as 84 dollars of oil or 29 dollars of gas. The potential savings to consumers is enormous.
Second, despite what some may believe, the process of creating nuclear energy is relatively safe. Though production involves large amounts of dangerous radiation, nuclear power plants incorporate an array of measures to ensure that this radiation is contained and poses no danger to the public. Elaborate equipment is used throughout nuclear plants to monitor and control all processes. Furthermore, this machinery will shut down under any abnormal circumstances to prevent a catastrophe.
Third, the hazardous radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants can be effectively managed. Fuel reprocessing is one measure often employed. This process takes the waste produced in plants and reuses it. It draws out 25% more energy from the original fuel source and reduces the amount of high-level waste, the most radioactive and therefore dangerous, by 80%. Consequently, the remaining waste possesses much less radioactivity and is even easier to dispose of.
The reading claims that nuclear energy must be replace by fossil fuels which should be the next logical step in the evolution of energy production and provides three reasons of support. The professor states that this idea is immature and refutes each of author's reasons.
To begin with, the article avers that the fuel powers nuclear plant is cheap compared to the fossil fuels that supply our energy needs. However, the lecturer opposes this point by saying that it is not cheap. He explains that the building to build these fuel powers takes time of exprties that mean it costs more money. In addtion, the legistilation of the city required company to take emergency action from the government to protect people which is significantly expensive.
Second, the reading posits that the process of creating nuclear energy is safe. In contrast, the professor counters this point by discussing that even though there is no catastrophe, accident may happen and still devastating to our safety. He provides an example of WR in pennsylvenia to illustrate this. In fact, this fuel power released a few amount of radioactive that didn't threate our existence but economically it costs million of dollars, and produced physical stress to the community.
Last but not least, the article asserts that radioactive waste can be manged. Conversely, the lecturer cast doubt this point by explaining that it is not manged well. He mentions that high level produced of putanuim 38 which is very danger to produce weapon. Also, the waste from the reprocessing must buried and stored in deep ground which is very hard task, and if they find a place, the residents may be ask them to stop through legal action.
