Now a days more than 30 countries are busy in investing more money for setting up nuclear power plant in their respective country.
At present there are about 440 nuclear reactors available in the world and same has been producing energy for commercial purposes. Atomic vitality gives around 14 percent of the world’s complete power prerequisites.
America is the largest nuclear energy producer and the France is the second largest producer in the world.
Their main aim is to produce more and more power from the Nuclear power plant rather than the existing some of the below mentioned power project they have been utilizing for producing the power at present.
Hydroelectric power plants, Coal-fired power plants,Diesel-fired power plants, Geothermal power plants, Combined-cycle power plants, Solar power plants,Solar thermal power plants, Wind Power Plant, Tidal Power Plant.
Nuclear technology basically provides clean energy which won’t generate pollution in the air. Nuclear power plant is reasonably smaller than any other power plant, but it is producing more power than any other power plant. Majorities of the countries are setting up the Nuclear power plant in an isolated areas only.
Setting up a nuclear power plant and it’s infrastructural facilities for the power distribution are not easy as we think. It requires varieties of approval from the government and it requires more money to invest.
Apart from that highly skilled professional people are required for its operation, maintenance and to safeguard the nuclear power plants.
Nuclear fuel is the key element that normally used in Nuclear power plant to produce excessive heat to power the turbines.
Nuclear energy is not at all polluting the air and it is not at all causing any impact on the environment. At the same time Nuclear waste is highly hazardous and it remains radioactive for hundreds of years.
Even though nuclear power is not causing any environmental damage, but any nuclear leak/accident from a nuclear power plant is going to be fatal for the country and the people.
In 1986, the world has seen a worst ever nuclear incident. This was caused melting down at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Complex. This incident has caused the death of 31 people immediately, 3.5 million people were afffected and more than 20000 squal miles areas contaminated.
25 years later in 2011, the world has witnessed another worst ever nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan that has caused considerable problems for the people, country and its environment.
Nuclear power plant does not require much area to set up and it does not release green house gases. Maintenance cost of the nuclear power plant is much lesser than the other power plants.
If nuclear reactors can be made extremely safe and the nuclear waste can be made inactive once and for all, then we can say that the nuclear power is the best source of power than any other source of power.
