Question

Nuclear Power is a perfect example of exponential relations. Canada produces over half of its electricity using nuclear reactors. One of the major problems associated with nuclear power generation is the radioactive waste. Currently all nuclear waste is stored on site at the power plant and there is no solution for the long term waste.
A) What would you do with the long term waste?

B) How would you take care of Canada’s energy needs for the future?

Answer 1

Solution :

Nuclear fission is exponential. With uranium atoms arranged properly it is possible to have the fission effect and cause more and more uranium nuclei to fission. This is known as chain reaction and a number of uranium atoms are fission together to increase exponentially.

Canada, for example produces electricity using the process of fission process in its nuclear reactors.

But one of the problems with nuclear reactors is its disposal of the nuclear waste. The nuclear waste includes the used reactor fuel,  uranium mill tailings and other radioactive wastes. They remain radioactive and are dangerous for the human health.

A). The long term nuclear waste are stored in deep excavations and covered with rocks and mud so that the harmful radioactive materials does not escape from them. They are also stored in some high density and thick cylinders and remained isolated in the dump yard from the people and nature.

B). Canada has a high source of renewable sources of energy. This is a clean source of energy and Canada can make best use of it. Most of the energy requirement of Canada can be taken care off by using wind energy. Canada is planning to set up wind energy mills in most of its part and generate electricity from it.

Canada has also installed several solar power projects which is clean and can help the people to use this solar energy to produce electricity.
