Using Irradiation To Make Food Safer For Consumers
1,171 wordsUsing Irradiation to Make Food Safer for Consumers In the world today, there is a limited access to fresh and uncontaminated food. Gunjan Sign, of Popular Science, reports that "The U. S. Centers of Disease Control estimates 6. 5 million confirmed cases and more than 25 million additional unreported incidents of food poisoning each year" (65). For example, with seventy-five percent of the chicken in Europe and sixty percent of the chicken in the United States infected, salmonella is a serious pr...

Nuclear Power Plants Three Mile Island
1,520 wordsNuclear Energy The Earths natural resources are being used up at an extreme rate. As these resources lessen, people must seek alternative sources to generate electricity for heat and light. The only practical solution for the energy is nuclear power. Nuclear power however, is not as safe as burning coal, gas or oil in a factory. In fact, nuclear power is much more dangerous. There are dangers with nuclear power plants that far out-weigh the benefits to society. About 20 percent of our nation's t...

Is Nuclear Power Safe For The Environment
1,475 wordsThere are many controversies about whether nuclear power is really safe for the environment or not. This paper will put all doubt aside and inform the pros and cons of nuclear power to the environment. First look will be at the alternatives in Americas power supplies: coal, natural gas, and oil. They are not environmentally sound, as some people believe. Some countries use nuclear power as a primary source of energy, and almost all countries use nuclear power on some level. Where there is nuclea...

American Cancer Society Cancerous Cells
1,501 wordsOne of the deadliest, un-curable, and common disease, which our nation is plagued with, is cancer. Cancer accounts for one out of four deaths in the United States (Elliot). There are two fields of information concerning this disease, the traditional medical routine of radiation and chemotherapy; and there is also the alternative use of shark cartilage. Due to the unsuccessful results of medical treatments alone, I believe that alternative forms of treatment will become more popular and accepted ...

000 000 People Nuclear Reactors
1,762 wordsChernobyl The topic I have chosen for this term paper is Ex-Soviet Blocs Environmental Crisis, Issue C. # 2 Upgrading nuclear reactors to meet international standards. I have chosen this topic because nuclear power is not only an environmental issue but also a severe health issue for the citizens around the nuclear site and also for the rest of the country and world because of food products that could be grown there and used as market items. Nuclear radiation is in no way healthy to anyone. It i...

Nuclear Power Plants Chernobyl Accident
6,712 wordsO n April 26, 1986, a hellish white glow bejeweled a small, little-known town in central Ukraine, now notoriously recognized by the international community as Chernobyl. During the early morning hours of the twenty-sixth, operators had been running an ill-conceived experiment on reactor unit number four, during which a spike in the operating level of the core caused a catastrophic explosion. The resulting eruption of radionuclides, both from the initial explosion and from the subsequent fires, t...
