Emergency power system

of the way its structure limits it’s power, the ability of legislature to completely determine budget, and also the procedure that a bill must go through to become a law in Texas. All of these factors (and many more) have helped create the limited but effective Texas government we know and love today. The Texas constitution gives very specific rules for how our congress must be organized. It is a bicameral congress, which…

avoid was giving too much power to a single individual for fear of having a monarchy like they had had before. To prevent this, they decided to divide up the powers of the government into three branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. These branches all have different powers and the ability to make sure that one branch doesn’t overstep its boundaries. This system of checks and balances keeps any one branch from having too much power. The legislative…

would take steps to establish autonomous bodies in the form of village panchayats. This level of local government is now recognized by the people as they are close to the citizens and involve them in the decision making process. Decentralization of powers is a pre-requisite…

Executive privilege is a right held by the executive branch that allows the president to withhold information and while the Constitution does not grant this power to the executive explicitly, presidents have justified executive privilege using the Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine and the role of the executive branch in foreign affairs (O’Brien). The sole organ theory also asserts that the president alone acts as a representative on behalf of the country when dealing with foreign…

demonstration to the world of the immense power created by splitting the atom. This fostered the exigence for the prevailing global superpowers, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the United States (US), to develop larger, more destructive nuclear weapons as each side braced its country for the possibility of global, thermonuclear war. By the mid-1950’s, both the US and the USSR developed nuclear weapons that dwarfed the size and destructive power of Fat Boy and Little Man…

government has an economic system that involves both political and economic theories, and the government having the right to the ownership and power of administration and the production of food, and other goods, this is known as socialist government. A socialist government is a type of government that does everything for the people even if it means to help with medical care, paid vacations, free education, and a twenty four hour with a thirty minute wait for an emergency call to a personal…

the two biggest types of power right now are Nuclear and Coal. If you have been keeping up with the environmental status coal is not helping the climate. People want to enjoy technology, but that costs power, which comes from coal. How do we balance these two, protecting the environment and keeping humanity moving forward? Well we find the cleanest and most renewable resource we can find. That is the one reason why I believe in radiation energy being the source of power in the future. In…

The tsunami caused three major meltdowns in the Fukushima Daiichi Power plant’s nuclear reactors, resulting in radiation to leaking out and threatening to harm nearby civilians. The meltdowns brought attention to the dangers of nuclear energy once again, causing Japan and countries…

Franklin D. Roosevelt stated that December 7, 1941 is “a date that will live in infamy.” Two dates that will also live in infamy in regard to nuclear catastrophe are April 26, 1986 (Chernobyl) and March 11, 2011 (Fukushima). Both involve an accident at a nuclear energy facility and was rated the highest on the nuclear severity scale. Nevertheless, there was numerous differences in the causes, responses, and impact of the accident. The most prominent similarity between the Chernobyl and…

Just thirty years ago, April 26th, 1986, one of the world’s largest nuclear meltdowns occurred in Pripyat, Ukraine. The workers of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were running a system test on reactor four and there was a sudden, unexpected power surge. When the workers attempted to conduct an emergency shut off even more power was produced. This caused the reactor vessel to crack and allow air into the core. The core ignited and the fire sent a large plume of highly radioactive smoke. For the…
