this chart shows how much radiation a person can expect to absorb from different external factors. It was created shortly after the Japanese nuclear accident in 2011
This article points out that large quantites of water would be used; something that could negativley affect San Antonio, seeing as we tend to have DROUGHTS
It lists pros and cons (mostly cons) of a nuclear power plant
Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process called fission. Fission releases energy that can be used to make steam, which is used in a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear power accounts for approximately 20 percent of the United States' electricity production.
radiation due to nuclear technology should eventually increase our cancer risk by 0.002% (one part in 50,000), reducing our life expectancy by less than one hour. The genetic risks of nuclear power are equivalent to delaying parenthood by 2.5 days, or of men wearing pants an extra 8 hours per year.
