Pros and cons of NPPs / Wordcloud of this issue
in this article, you can know…
・What is the problem about nuclear power plant
From this article, I am going to introduce good points and bad points of construction and use of nuclear power plants by explaining each point per an article. So far, all I can come up with is following,
Pros
  1. less co2 than thermal power plant
  2. uranium is cheap (at least most of countries), and can be recycled
  3. reliable and stable, massive energy 
  4. Space needed for operating a nuclear power plant is less 
  5. nuclear weapons?
  6. financial aids to the local government which has NPPs

Cons
  1. radioactive waste damage on environment
  2. the method of toxic waste disposal is not sure
  3. aging and require maintenance
  4. cost to build ,stop and tear down
  5. safety
  6. aim of terrorist attack


This is a wordcloud. Big words  represents frequent words of nuclear power plants’ issue.
These words copied and pasted from world nuclear association. Apparently, this issue is related to environmental problems such as climate change. 
IPCC means Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

After reading feedback to our presentation

By -
Hi, today, I'll write about feedback to our final presentation on 25, July. We got 4 comments from our classmates and teacher. ・When you said "photogenic" photos, it might had been better if they had examples. ・Their slides could be more simple. ・I think if more pictures used, presentation would be better. ・Make promotion video. Being based on above, I got some improvement plans for the next presentation. First, we should decrease the amount of sentences on our powerpoint to make it more simply and add more pictures instead of sentences. I think pictures help audience to understand. With them, they’ll be able to image much easier.  Second is to make a promotion video. If we have it, we can get attention of person who watched it. We should make a video which can tell how do we take activities and our goals. These 2 are our improvement plan.  I thought our presentation should have been more simple and impression. So, I want to make better presenta...

New energy⑴　Geothermal Heat Considering this issue, we cannot avoid to talk about environmental damage and sustainable energy. According to Strategic energy plan, Japan plans to reduce its dependency on nuclear power as much as possible as it aims to expand renewable energy. As I wrote previous post, some developed countries’ trend is shifting from nuclear power plants to other earth-friendly energy resources such as solar power or windmill and so on. So, in this article I will talking about the new energy resources possible to generate and supply electricity in Japan. New energy is.. ・geothermal ・seaweed oil ・methane hydrate Geothermal power plant Geothermal power generation utilize the heat energy from underground magma. The water from the sky is transformed into vapor when rain penetrate the soil and reach the layer of magma. The vapor stays 1000m~3000m underground. It is general systems of geothermal power generation, digging that place so that this high temperature vapor release,...

Opinions of Japanese toword Nuclear Power Plants

By -
Hi, I’m Misaki. Today, I will talk about opinions of Japanese toward NPP. I roughly divide opinions into 3 types, “totally agree”, “partly agree”, “totally disagree”. First, I will introduce some opinions of people who “totally agree” with NPP. ・ NPP can generate much more electricity than other power plants. ・ It doesn’t need so much money. ・ It doesn’t depend on the weather. ・ The region in which NPP is built can get a lot of financial profit from it. Second, I will write opinions of people who partly agree with NPP. ・ On condition that we imagine an accident can be happened anytime and provide an education for residents and workers, I agree with NPP. ・ If the safety is improved and risks for accidents will be excluded, I agree with it. ・ Because we cannot cover the demand of electricity without NPP, it cannot be helped. Finally, I will introduce dissenting opinions. ・ It needs much money to improve the safety, even if it doesn’t need money...
