Student presentation grou 2 17 Oct 2009 Future Energy of the World

1. •A nuclear reaction whereas nucleus of an atoms split
into two smaller elements
•Release large amount of energy, both as
electromagnetic
radiation and kinetic of fragments
•Commonly used fuels are uranium-235 atom and
plutonium-239 atom Plutonium
Uraniu
m

2. Process
1. When atom splits, large
amount of energy is
released
2. It will heat up the water
which turn into
3. The steam will then turn
the turbine
4. Thus, generate electricity

3. Advantages
No Pollution
Does not release harmful gases to the atmosphere. No
carbon, acid or sulfur
Most concentrated energy so we can control it very
well
Nuclear power does not take up room
More efficient compared to other kinds of fuels

4. Disadvantages
Produce radiation which is harmful to living things
Harmful waste (Takes long time to be not harmful)
Dangerous not managed properly
Use as weapon
Risk to terrorist attacks
