Lesson outcomes: ALL should be able to describe how nuclear power is created. MOST should be able to evaluate the pros and cons of nuclear power FEW should be able to produce a detailed argument using accurate case study detail

Outline the main arguments in favour of the development of nuclear power   (15 marks)

How is nuclear power created? Only 35 countries in the world possess uranium reserves. Largest amounts are located in the industrialised nations of the USA, Canada and Australia – 48% Niger, Brazil, Russia and South Africa also have reserves. Forecast that the total global generation capacity of nuclear power plants could almost double by 2030.

Worldwide uranium production Describe the pattern of uranium production.

What role does nuclear power play in the UK’s energy mix?

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle begins when uranium is mined, enriched, and manufactured into nuclear fuel, (1) which is delivered to a nuclear power plant. After usage in the power plant, the spent fuel is delivered to a reprocessing plant (2) or to a final repository (3) for geological disposition. In reprocessing 95% of spent fuel can be recycled to be returned to usage in a power plant (4). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7908934.stm - inside the nuclear power plant.

Nuclear Energy: Summary UK gets 20% of its electricity from nuclear energy. All existing power stations will be closed by 2023. Current energy crisis, rising costs of fossil fuels and concerns about global warming all mean that nuclear power has been considered seriously again. Decommissioning costs, the problems of storing or disposing of nuclear waste and issues such as the Chernobyl accident all put expansion on nuclear energy on hold.

Pattern of Nuclear Power Stations Describe the present location of nuclear power stations in the UK. How do you think their locations were planned? Estimate when new generating capacity will need to be built to replace the nuclear power stations as they close. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:3WqpdyK-c4EJ:https://schoolweb.rgsw.org.uk/resource.aspx?id%3D14662+nuclear+power+geofile&hl=en&gl=uk&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgcvIqPSvbDE0-EGC2pdzuS04-B6waszIC1-VyJO9xMQK6kYQVOuxxapFclTxQ1MUeIczPWDLvJaAsii4dZxScRg4RaFth2FwriV7137j6kAEuOVLjb4qCKJ2X_8ParD-f8RMKT&sig=AHIEtbTMjygC-cF2ramAV26U9DfktqcHJg

Arguments for and against Physical Environmental Political Social Advantages Disadvantages http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7848230.stm - Anglesey http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7669457.stm Bristol

In November 2009, the Government identified ten nuclear sites which could accommodate future reactors: Bradwell in Essex Braystones in Cumbria Kirksanton in Cumbria Sellafield in Cumbria Hartlepool in County Durham Heysham in Lancashire Hinkley Point in Somerset Oldbury in Gloucestershire Sizewell in Suffolk Wylfa in North Wales Most of these sites already have a station; the only new sites are Braystones and Kirksanton. In October 2010, sites at Braystones, Kirksanton and Dungeness were ruled out by Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Chris Huhne with the former government's list of eleven potential sites reduced to eight. As of 2011, the government's programme to build new nuclear power stations in England will be "delayed by at least three months so that lessons can be learned from the accident at Fukushima in Japan".
