JOURNAL TOPIC #3 - SETTING The setting is an integral part of any story, especially a Sci-Fi story. With no setting, the book has no location set with it, which can leave the reader confused and sometimes un-interested. The setting in The Kill Order, written by James Dashner, plays a huge role in the book. It communicates with the reader where these solar flares hit, and really how devastating they were. Dashner uses a really good sense of imagery to describe the setting in the book. Using this…

When a neutron is absorbed by isotope of X-- given that X is some given element-- another isotope of X is created. Though sometimes these newly-created isotopes of X are very unstable. They may be so unstable, in fact, that they only exist briefly before splitting into two separate and distinct chemicals. Radioactive photons, massive energy, and neutrons are shot out in the surrounding area. As long as more Isotopes of X still exist in the area, this can, in turn, create a grand chain reaction…

How Experts Conceive the Risks Related to the Nuclear Energy Plants The expert in the field of nuclear energy has always argued that the benefits associated cannot even be comparable with limited risk in the nuclear plant. The specialists in this area conceive that the risk involves in the nuclear power plant is of little concern if all the necessary risk measures are put into place (Nuclear Energy Agency, 7). Under the few situation in which nuclear energy power have resulted in been…

The fukushima catastrophe that occured in 2001 demonstrated what happens when a nuclear power plant's saftey system fails. Along with this, the U.S. nuclear industry responded by saying that that will not happen here, but it can and it will eventually. Even if a meltdown doesn't occur, the waste the nuclear power plants produce do some damage to our enviroment. Every waste dump in the U.S. leaks radiation that can travel through the air,ground water, and agricultural consumption which can lead…

Chernobyl:One of the worst Chernobyl is the worst nuclear disaster, and it happened like a ninja in the dark, then how long will it last as the worst. Stated by facts sheet, 3 million have been affected. On the other hand, one most of them will come up later (31 people died stated by the Russians have either gotten cancer or mutated with 4 feet, two heads) With this story of the person will also come some of the causes both operator and how the reactor was built. Operator errors They ran the…

Three Mile Island is situated on an island on the Susquehanna River. This is located by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The accident at Three Mile Island is said to be one of the most momentous incidents in the history of the American nuclear power industry. The cause of the accident was due to many different variables. There were many human decisions made that led up to the partial meltdown of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 reactor (britannica.com). There were also, however, some good decisions made…

affected the perception of nuclear energy of the use of nuclear energy, Three Mile Island and Fukushima. International perception on nuclear energy changed after the Three Mile Island incident in 1979 with no fatalities slowing the industry’s growth. The accident on Three Mile Island led to developments of safety precautions that should have been employed in Chernobyl. The accident in Chernobyl showed the same trends as the Three Mile Island incident. Fukushima’s incident led new speculation on…

Why occurred on 26 April 1986 because an operator did something wrong. Most serious of the nuclear accidents. It will be managed by a dome that has s to build will be rolled over the reactor 4. It was initially kept a secret. Blame has been placed on people working in the factory and Most people affected were in the exclusion zone. Approximately 600,000-800,000 firefighters and emergency workers were on the scene. Statue was erected in honor of the fire men who gave there lives to save…

The unit number 2 of the nuclear power plant in Three Mile Island, located near the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, suffered a serious accident on March 28, 1979. A small leak in the steam generator triggered the worst nuclear accident in history of the USA, and the second worst in the history of nuclear power. The causes must be attributed to the design of that plant that made it extremely unsafe. The loss of coolant caused an increase in core temperature that eventually ended up melting fuel…

On 11 March 2011, all international news broadcasts were fixated on Japan, for an unfortunate reason; a natural catastrophe that has struck the Tohoku region of Japan without warning. The calamity was instantaneously announced through viral videos, emails, Twitter feeds, social media and live broadcasts on both international and local Japanese news programs, with the global network news reporters clambering through the rubble (Bestor, 2013). This unprecedented natural disaster that has shocked…
