6. Read: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/27/science/chernobyl-capping-a-catastrophe.html?_r=0 and: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2015/apr/24/containing-chernobyls-deadly-legacy both on Sakai
Do you think this solution solves the problem of nuclear waste and proves that humans can rectify any environmental problem that emerges as a consequence of our activity?
Explanation / Answer
Ans:
4. After watching this documentary, my opinion about nuclear has been changed. Nuclear power though gives more productivity, nuclear power plants are unsafe. The emission reaction is highly powerful and dangerous if it fails. Nuclear power plants can be closed and people can opt for renewable energy sources to prevent loss of lives.
5. The world should clean and repair the damages caused in Chernobyl. It is not only Russia that started nuclear related research. Every nation in the world are trying their strengths to prevent other countries to invade in. Since, we together were responsible for the nuclear power generation and opting for it, it is our responsibility to recover from it and shift to other energy resources.
6. People in Ukraine built a structure which will stand for 100 years and this won’t solve the problem with the nuclear power. The main motive of building such arch is to completely clean the nuclear effects within 100 years. But with the political tensions with Russia, this time period seems to be more than 100 years. The only solution is to get rid of the nuclear power and shift towards the renewable sources of energy
