What is NPP?
Hi, I’m Misaki. Today, I’m going to talk
about what nuclear power plant is.
Nuclear power plant is one of the methods
of generating electricity. This method was started all over the world about 50
years ago.
It uses power of nuclear. First, uranium
atoms are split into smaller parts – this process called fission. Fission
generates thermal energy. And this energy make water boiled. The steam which is
produced at that time turn a turbine generator to generate electricity.
As features of nuclear power plants, this
doesn’t discharge CO². So, we can say that nuclear
power plant is more kind to the earth than the other power generation methods.
However, this has some problems. It is hard
to treat radioactive wastes, which are produced while the process of nuclear
power generation.
In March 11, 2011, in Fukushima, Japan, an
accident happened because of a big earthquake and tsunami. After that, Japanese
government stopped all of the nuclear power stations in Japan. And today(July,
2019), 9 nuclear power station are running.
