Seoul subway line 2 collision 1) Introduction “The accident occurred on Line 2 of the subway at Sangwangsimni station in Seoul at about 3.30 p.m. on 2 May 2014. No. 2260 train ran into back of the preceding No. 2258 train, which had stopped between stations due to a mechanical problem. As a result, 235 people were slightly injured, 3 people were serious injured and about 1,000 commuters were evacuated. Also, it makes property damage 2.8 billion won.” Fortunately, it was not terrible disasters,…

the form of fossil fuels and come in 5 main forms: Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas, LPG (liquified petroleum gas and crude oil. The method that is used to extract usable energy from combustible energy is by putting it through a fossil fuel power station. In these power plants, fuels are burnt to produce steam which drives large turbines, producing energy. This energy is then transported to our houses for our everyday conventional use. Using Fossil fuels generates energy but at the same time…

that can be used as electricity or other forms of power. The natural resources used to generate energy must be produced faster than it is being used so that the resources can be used by future generations without finishing. Renewable energy does not harm the environment. Reasons why South Africa must include renewable energy in its energy mix: • To build places where renewable energy can be generated would be cheaper than to build coal power stations which is what South Africa is mostly using…

current from the flow of electrons and the voltage from the electric field make this power usable. There are various advantages in using this source of energy such as it is renewable as solar energy cannot run out, it will be present for as long as the sun is alive; this also means there and abundance of solar energy as…

Shuttle and Station Sushil Shrestha Early study of Space Shuttle began before Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 when President Nixon formed the space task group. The group evaluated the feasible study of reusable space vehicle. During the earlier period, there was a debate on optimal design of vehicle that balanced the capability, development and operational cost. Once the problem was solved, President Nixon formally announced the development of space shuttle in 1972. The inception of space shuttle…

amounts of information that was given to the during the accident. The equipment that was used at the plant was also used at other power plants and were shutdown due to the accident. The cleanup for the accident took almost a decade because of the radiation that got out in the containment building where the reactor core was at. It took nearly six years before a power plant tried to get permission to build another nuclear plant or have another reactor put at one of the plants already built.…

With growing widespread use of nuclear power, around the world and the historic nuclear disaster, of Chernobyl, still in peoples minds it begs the question of whether or not the pros outweigh the cons. Nuclear power provides 20% of the power inside the United States according to the Nuclear Energy Institute and with 104 nuclear power plants inside the US alone the security of these power plants can not be overlooked. Since 911 the security of nuclear power plants took a drastic reform as it…

action. • Checks and balances is basically a safety measure that no branch of government can get too powerful than the other one. The way the federal government is set up with branches each powerful in their own way but each have equal levels of power. So like if the President wants to declare to war on another country he/she can’t without approval from Congress. Congress for example can pass a bill or law but it has to be seen and approved by the President. But in the principle of checks and…

to do nuclear power plants and according to the European Nuclear Society their definition of a nuclear power plant is “thermal power plant, primarily used for electricity generation, in which the nuclear binding energy released during the nuclear fission in a reactor is converted to heat and subsequently into electrical energy via a water-steam circuit using a turbine and generator”. Nuclear power plants operate in most states and can produce up to 20 percent of the nation’s power. Enrico Fermi…

that we need something else. I believe that wave power should be the main replacement of fossil fuels. Wave power is an unbelievable new source of clean, reusable energy. First off, waves are made when “wind blows against the surface of the sea and creates waves that are packed with kinetic energy” (Spilsbury 18). As big as the oceans are, I believe the benefits of wave power are even greater. There could be no limit to what we could get from wave power…
