Nuclear UK LO: To understand why the UK and many other countries around the globe are investing in nuclear power and suggest some of the effects of this. All will describe why we in the UK are considering investing in more nuclear reactors. Most will explain how uranium generates energy Some will suggest some of the benefits and drawbacks of nuclear power.

What is the UK Nuclear Picture? UK power stations

Canadian nuclear plant How Does Nuclear Power Work? Uranium = the energy source. Used like wood, oil or gas to generate heat to turn water to steam.

The Mark Scheme (Simplified) L4 – using key terms you describe the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power and say what you think should happen L5 – using detail and evidence you start to explain some of the effects of nuclear power station and discuss the different view people have about it L6 – you explain with evidence what the benefits and problems are for the UK if we invest in nuclear power and you give a sensible conclusion based on the evidence including graphs / maps / photos etc. L7 – you consider the sustainability of nuclear power and whether it is a good long term solution for the UK using the evidence given and some additional research

Nuclear Power Report Use sort cards, the A3 sheet and research. To do well use the planning sheet. Write at least one paragraph for each. 1.Why do we need nuclear energy? (consider, energy gap, reliability, and environmental concerns linked to other energy resources). 2.What is nuclear power, how does uranium create energy? 3.What are the advantages / positives of nuclear power? 4.What are the disadvantage / drawbacks of nuclear power? (consider real examples of problems) 5.How do different groups feel about nuclear power? Why? 6.What is the UK planning to do? Are we going to use more or less nuclear power? Explain the decision, why are we doing this? Where are our nuclear power stations? Why? 7.Conclusion. What do you think should happen? Why? Don’t introduce new evidence here, use what you’ve already discussed to justify your points.
