Nuclearpower ：asafe energy solution ？
The appetite for nuclear power varies strongly from country to country. Some treat it as a side dish , some as a staple partof the diet . Our map shows the thrity countries that currently use nuclearpower , as well 18 others that are planning to do so .The nuclear power as the necessary part ofour life . But when it comes to The
question that wheather nuclear power as a safe energy solution , peoplehold different views .
For me , nuclearpower is unsafe energy solution .
Despit theconvenience it has brought to our human life , it also has caused a lot ofdisasters.
Damage at nuclearplants made leaking radiation which is the primarythreat . For example , the Plutonium--scary stuff . Accordingto a 1995 report from the Lawrence LivemoreNational Llaboratory , you would have to ingest about , 5 grams of Plutonium todie immediately . In Japan ,Plutonium may be grabbing the headlines right know , but it isn’t the mostdangerous substance being emitted from Fukushima. The steam intentionally vented from the plant contains Iodine and Cesium , bothof which have a far shorter half-life than Plutonium , but are being releasedin much higher amounts and , being airborne , can travel much farther . Rradioactiveiodine-131 has been detected off the coast of fukushima at levels 1150 times higher thannormal . These elements may not be quite as radioactive as Plutonium . However,if ingested or inhaled , they also pose a risk of causing cancer .
The radioactiveelement pose a serious health threat , particulaily for those beyond theimmdiate vicinity of the plant . According to the worldnuclear association , exposure to over 100 millisieverts of radiation a yearcan lead to cancer . A blast of radiation often causes immediate , obvioussymptoms . A high dose of radiation over a few minutes or hours can cause acuteradiation syndrome , which begins immediately . In a short term , your hairwill fall out within a week ; your brain will be nervousness , cofusion ; yourskin may be burn , which can lead to infection . What’ more ,your marrow cellsbegin to die . In the long term , cell damage , which makes people susceptibleto leukemia and other cancers and can cause sterility and other problems .
Nuclear power notnoly do harm to human health but also make bad effects on the public’s dailylife and countries’ economy . Because of nuclear power plants has gone wrongthe vendors in Guangzhou where has altered labels to disguise the fact thatproducets come from Japan instead of claiming that they are locally made . Othersellers claimed their Japan-made products are from stock accumulated before thedisadter , while supermarkets have reporeted that consumers only care about buyingJapanese imports what are produced before the crisis .
During the crisis, the French embassy in the Tokyo is advising French citizens to leave the cityas well as the German embassy . German technology company SAP is evacuatingtheir offices in Tokyo. Austria hasannounced that it is time to move its embassy from Tokyoto Osaka due tofears about the radiation . Chinais cancelling many flights to Tokyo.
The real turth isthat the nuclear energy brings a lot of benefits to our life. But it alsocaused a quantity of problems . To my mind , we should try our utmost to createa safe energy solution . Such as wind-power , solar power and so on .
