The Chernobyl disaster (1986) was probably the worst possible accident in a nuclear power plant. It was the biggest catastrophe ever happened since the beginning of operating nuclear power stations. It started by a total meltdown of the reactor core. The explosion and the consequent reactor fire, burning for 10 days, resulted in a vast emission of radioactive material, early deaths of 31 persons and adverse consequences for the public and the environment [198]. This Chernobyl disaster provided…

Bahrain are among the highest worldwide, at 28 tons CO2 per person in 2007 (2012). This level establishes Bahrain as the sixth highest emitter per capita in the world (Torr, 2009). The energy sector produces the highest level of CO2 at 75.8 percent. Power stations and the aluminium industry followed by waste effluents at 10.1 percent are the other major producers. The lowest at 5.7 percent was the transportation industry (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2003, Zainal, 2012). Petroleum processing and…

In order to decrease the temperature globally and the cases of respiratory illnesses, the reduction of CO2, SO2 and NOx are the goals to achieve in the United States. However, there are approximately 1,100 generators in the electrical industry are power by burning coals in the United States, which will produce huge amount of carbon dioxide, approximately 66% of total SO2 and 33% of total NOx in the United States. Furthermore, some of the spokesmen of the factories mentioned that is not…

Nuclear Energy Nuclear Energy Nuclear Power Plants: Nuclear Power Plants are facilities which generate electricity through the use of nuclear reactions. It is referred to as a thermal power station because it creates a nuclear reaction, in which a lot of heat and energy is created. Due to the production of heat, the plan creates a lot of steam which is used like in coal or gas-fired power stations to drive turbine generators to generate electricity. Nuclear Reactions The are two nuclear…

agricultural products. Five years after the accident in 1991, the accident evaluation committee issued a report and accredited the accident to flaws in the RBMK reactor design. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) also agreed that the nuclear station had design flaws.…

Solar Updraft Towers Solar updraft towers were designed as an alternative to other current energy sources that are nonrenewable by using kinetic energy to transfer heat. The technology in a solar updraft tower is that it incorporates a large greenhouse-type structure, referred to as a collector, which generates heat from the sun and transfers the heat by convection out of a tall chimney tower that is at the center of the structure. As hot air rises and evacuates from the top of the tower, a…

The rise of nuclear power started back in 2000 with the election of George W. Bush; it was with him that the development of nuclear power plants started to form in the United States. One of the countries that turned to nuclear energy was India, but it wasn’t until 2005 with the Nuclear Treaty, that it actually came into the picture and developed their Nuclear Sector. Then in 2010 India’s government passed the Civil Nuclear Liability for Damage Act, which dealt with any nuclear damages that…

pollution, and impact to the that the plant is built on. Coal-Fired Plants also use up a lot of water as this is expressed by the editors of (Green Peace, 2016) “The world 's 8,359 power plants use enough water to meet the basic needs of one billion people, Greenpeace 's ground-breaking work shows.” Coal-Fired Power Plants not only cause damage to the environment but also damage to people, such as miners and from the pollution. As according to the editors of (Green Peace, 2016) “When people who…

centuries humans have increased the atmospheric level of carbon by 30% as they cut down forests and burn trees in an attempt to become more industrialised and create more power (Our Universe Visualised, 2009). As more greenhouse gases, like carbon, are used they join the gases in the atmosphere surrounding…
