Within the imaging department it promoted, encouraged and expedited role development and generated new radiographic roles (Woodford, 2005: 321). It was highlighted…

The Road to Clean Energy is Paved with Nuclear Debris Since the dawn of nuclear power, mankind has been enjoying a relatively cheap and clean energy source that can be relied on as a steady alternative fuel source. Its benefits, though, can easily be outweighed by its detriments. No energy source compares in its potential life-threatening risks to that of nuclear energy. Such disasters may be overlooked due to their rarity and need in a rapidly-evolving society. However, at what point does…

Destruction or WMDs, in particular nuclear bombs. Nuclear weapons are an extremely important issue for the countries who have them. They are also important for the countries trying very hard to develop them. However, since only certain States in the world have actually generated the ability to produce them, then only those States truly have a say in how they are handled. Even though all States in the world could be affected by a nuclear war, a State with a nuclear weapon has greater power than…

The UN has recently drafted a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that they aim to achieve by 2030 in different fields such as energy. Indeed, the UN aims to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” (Proposal for Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform). Are targets measurable? 7.1 This target can be measured by combining both population and energy consumption data. That way, an energy consumption per capita unit…
