    This gives a great perspective on fossil fuel powered factories. It also gives a great deal of information on how nuclear energy effects the enviornment

  • The principal risks associated with nuclear power arise from health effects of radiation. This radiation consists of subatomic particles traveling at or near the velocity of light---186,000 miles per second. They can penetrate deep inside the human body where they can damage biological cells and thereby initiate a cancer. If they strike sex cells, they can cause genetic diseases in progeny.
  • Radiation occurs naturally in our environment; a typical person is, and always has been struck by 15,000 particles of radiation every second from natural sources, and an average medical X-ray involves being struck by 100 billion.
  • Since there is no possible way for the cells in our bodies to distinguish between natural radiation and radiation from the nuclear industry, the latter cannot cause new types of genetic diseases or deformities (e.g., bionic man), or threaten the "human race". Other causes of genetic disease include delayed parenthood (children of older parents have higher incidence) and men wearing pants (this warms the gonads, increasing the frequency of spontaneous mutations).

      This site shows how after the Japan disaster the safe zone from the plant is about 20 miles. So, 25 would probably be safe.

    Website states that "Uranium is the most efficient power plant fuel. A single uranium fuel pellet, about the size of a pencil eraser, contains as much energy as: *149 gallons of oil *157 gallons of gasoline *1,780 pounds of coal *17,000 cubic feet of natural gas Nuclear power is carbon-free and emits no greenhouse gases. It produces 20 percent of America's electricity and almost 75 percent of all emission-free power generation, nationwide."

  • The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by
  • nuclear fission: neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.
  • Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel.
