Q. Is radioactive radiation harmful?
A. Yes radiation is harmful by damaging the genetic material (DNA) contained in the body’s cells, radiation can cause cancer.

Q.How is the environment protected?
A.There are 3 successive barriers isolate the highly radioactive fission products from the environment. The three successive barriers are:
Q.Who has access to nuclear power stations?
A.Every individual must go through a procedure that starts with an application. This is followed by a screening by the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (AFCN/FANC) and the National Safety Authority. The nature and depth of the examination depend on the function of the person in question and on the location where he or she is to work. Without a permission, no access is allowed, even thought if that person is master of nuclear power.

Q.How is the safety of nuclear power stations ensured?
A.Safety is ensured by responding to possible anomalies efficiently and appropriately. There are automatic shutdown system that safety mechanism in their power station perfectly.

Q.How is the environment protected?
A.There are 3 successive barriers isolate the highly radioactive fission products from the environment. The three successive barriers are:
- A hermetically sealed metal containment structure contains and protects the fuel pellets that contain uranium oxide.
- The reactor vessel has a 20cm-thick steel wall.
- The reactor building is a double bunkered building with a reinforced concrete housing. The innermost enclosure prevents radioactivity from being released outside the reactor building. It can withstand strong internal pressure. The second enclosure protects the facility from external impact.

I think you answered these questions rather simplistically. Most of them are general questions but most of your answers concern one particular country's situation or the case for a particular type of nuclear power plant design.
返信削除Particularly your answer to the question "How is the environment protected?" is inadequate because you unquestioningly accept the idea that the environment can be protected from nuclear power at an acceptable level. It ignores the opinion of some people that any increase in radiation beyond "normal" background radiation can expose people (and the environment) to unacceptable risks. Maybe a better question would have been "How do nuclear power generation companies _attempt_ to protect the environment. The answer would have been a much more nuanced one than the one you gave.
