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 )

)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!
