Nuclear Technology Bethany Finch Pd:7

Nuclear power plants Nuclear power plants create serious hazards to public health and to the environment. There's already enough things that harm the environment and people, we don’t need anything else.

Nuclear medical techniques All nuclear medical techniques are highly dangerous. These techniques are used to treat and diagnose patients. If they are harmful and dangerous there not going to fix anything they’ll just make it worse.

Cancer caused by radiation Physicians can distinguish cancer caused by radiation exposure from cancer resulting from other cancers. The impacts of cancer caused by ionizing radiation have wreaked havoc on many people.

An improperly operated nuclear power plant can explode like a nuclear weapon If the power plant over heats it could explode like a nuclear bomb or a nuclear weapon.

Medical X-rays are dangerous Too much radiation at one body sit causes skin conditions like some cancers and severe burns.

Human senses can detect radioactivity Yes humans can sense radioactivity. They can detect heat and light.

Home smoke detectors contain radioactive materials Home smoke detectors contain radioactive material so that when it detects smoke it goes off.

Radioactive materials are unnatural? Radioactive materials aren’t unnatural. Our soil, water and bodies are naturally radioactive.

How are individuals affected by radiation? A lot of radiation can be fatal. 1 in 4 people develop some form of cancer caused by radiation. Therefore it’s harmful to humans.

Do small amounts of water change to immense quantities of energy released by nuclear weapons? Nuclear fusion changed small amounts of matter into large quantities of energy in nuclear weapons

Do nuclear wastes have to be stored for centuries to prevent dangerous radioactivity from escaping? Yes. Radioactive waste remain highly radioactive for thousands of years.

Are new dangerous elements are being invented everyday? No, they haven’t created a new element in 8 years. The last element discovered was ununoctium.

Do nuclear power plants produce material that can be converted into nuclear weapons? Some nuclear power pants produce material that can be converted into nuclear weapons but not all of them. Not all nuclear fuel materials are suitable for bombs.
