Earthquakes and Nuclear Reactors!! By: Bo Cherry, David Wilson, Hannah Brackin, and Shane Irvin

What is an Earthquake? Sudden release of energy as a result of two plates moving past one another along a fault http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/usgsnps/deform/eqepifoc297x164.gif

Where do they happen? Earthquakes happen along faults. Active faults can be found all over the world and in many parts of the United States. http://www.air-worldwide.com/uploadedImages/Publications_Pages/Publication_Item_Pages/AIR_Currents/Fig1_Plates.jpg

Why do they happen? Frictional forces build up as plates push or pull against one another. Energy is then released as the plates overcome the frictional forces. http://earthquakesandplates.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/eqfocus.gif

How can they affect humans? Earthquakes can cause failure in infrastructure (buildings, roads, etc.) Earthquakes can also lead to damaging tsunamis as sea water is pushed up as a giant wave. http://blogs.uco.edu/graduate/files/2011/03/earthquake1.jpg

Nuclear Power

How it works

How it works

How it works Reactor Turbines Towers Massive heat Turns water into steam Turbines Steam Powered Converts motion into electricity Towers Steam is released to turn back into water

How many in the US Over 110 in the US alone Most in the Eastern US No more than three reactors per plant Controlled by the USNRC (United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission) and the DOE (Department of Energy)

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Daiichi means (number one) Six reactors instead of three Top 15 largest plants in the world Ranked 7 out of 7 on nuclear disaster scale
