Nuclear Energy- For BETTER? or For WORSE?

     Hey awesome bloggers!!! :P Greetings here from Stroganona and FreeSpirit :D! On behalf of our group, we will be talking about how nuclear energy can help the world and can also destroy it using the same posses. Now first and foremost, what is NUCLEAR ENERGY? Nuclear energy is created by the splitting of a nucleus in an atom. This is called nuclear fission. This process can provide heat and electricity for our houses.

      






     Take a look at this video. It will summarize the 
  disadvantages of nuclear energy and how we can 
  solve it.


     Some of its advantages are that a nuclear power plant does not give of as much CO2 as coal or oil power plants give off. As mentioned, it can provide heat and electricity for our houses, thus, you can charge your gadgets, use your computer or laptop for school work, personal use and a lot more. It can also provide electricity for malls and other places for playing and leisure. Do you know how some of the materials around you were made? By electricity! But have you ever thought about its disadvantages? Are we in favor of using this? We give it a good "YES, YES WE ARE". Simply because it can provide for many people, it can give more than enough  cheap electricity and it's eco-friendly. What more can you ask for?!

     
    We had an awesome field trip to the Philippines' very own nuclear power power plant known as the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant  (B.N.P.P.)!

   Before getting there, we obviously were expecting to learn nuclear power's advantages and disadvantages and the history of the B.N.P.P. Then we got there and, yes, we did learn its advantages, disadvantages and history. We also learned about other nuclear power plants around the world and the nuclear accidents. It was a little scary climbing all those stairs, but it was a great tour! 

Star Trek! (joke!) :P 
The Control Room Of BNPP

Probably, the coolest part of the B.N.P.P is the control room, because it was quite hard to believe that those tiny buttons can run a really huge power plant. And only 3 or 2 people control those buttons and levers. One press on the wrong button and pull of the wrong lever, BOOM! Disaster. But aside from that it looks like a spaceship from Star Trek :D

That's all of us leaving the power plant. XD girl in the Beatles shirt!

Till the next post!
