Answer:

Nuclear fission is almost 8,000 times more efficient than traditional fossil fuels at producing energy. That's a lot of energy packed into a small space. Nuclear energy is more efficient, which means it uses less fuel to power the plant and produces less waste.


advantages:
-produces no polluting gases
-does not contribute to global warming
-very low fuel costs
-Low fuel quantity reduces mining and transportation effects on environment
-High technology research required benefits other industries
-Power station has very long lifetime

Disadvantages:
-Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive
-Local thermal pollution from wastewater affects marine life
-Large-scale accidents can be catastrophic
-Public perception of nuclear power is negative
-Costs of building and safely decommissioning are very high
-Cannot react quickly to changes in electricity demand

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3 different types of people using Highway Transportation system are :

1. Pedestrians - should be given priority while driving.

2. Cyclists - should be given enough space on road.

3. Motorcyclists- should be given enough space on road.

Explanation:

1. Pedestrians - Most of pedestrians use to walk on the footpath along side road that keeps them on a safe side. But there are places without footpath along side road, in that case they have to walk on the road itself. Here, we need to take care for them. We need to wait in case they are crossing road and also check for them while taking a turn.

2. Cyclists - They travel on road but are tough to figure out. They travel at a slower pace compared to cars. To avoid any accident with them, we are supposed to give them enough space which should be equivalent to a car's space.

3. Motorcyclists - They can pass by very closely and also come between lanes. Most of the things to be considered here are same as that of cyclists. Here also, we need to check for them carefully while taking a turn. Also, need to give them enough space.
