The Students Understanding of Nuclear PowerYang, C.C. KLSHChang, C.Y. KLSHYang, S.M. KLSH 2012/08/23

We are deeply related !!Study together in the pastClose to nuclear power plant2

Lungmen 1&2Kuosheng 1&2Chinshan 1&2Maanshan 1&2Nuclear Power Plants in TaiwanLocations of Nuclear Power Plants

A Survey Conducted among Students in KLSHEffective rate:253/262 =96.6%

Major Concerns()()()()

Extra radiation-- students think that they will receive near nuclear power plantThe truth

Less than 0.1% of the background radiationhttp://wapp4.taipower.com.tw/nsis/Safety-3.aspOf Course !

It is negligible !

Extra Radiation Dose near Power Plant(~ C.T. scan )(~ having ten bananas)(~ Chest X-ray )( ~Co60 therapy )

http://xkcd.com/radiation/

( C.T. scan )(having ten bananas)( Chest X-ray )( Co60 therapy )Space required of Low Level Nuclear Waste per year from the 2nd nuclear power plant

( classroom )( football field )( high school )( truck )

Low Level Nuclear Waste (LLW)LLW - 6X10 Barrels/year

X10

6X10 Barrels/year Using thermal power generating unit will lose land because of

Global Warming

2008- - 0 (Coastal Line of 2008)2028 - -12

20 yearslater2038- - 35

30 years laterWhich is more favorable?

ConclusionPeople should understand nuclear power more before making decision!!Major concern is radiation, but most of people do not have correct knowledge!
