As nuclear power doesn’t get affected by the weather, it can constantly produce electricity, which enables for the price to be reduced.

  1. You could do a much better job in researching your first question "What is radiation?" because the two sources you use (IAEA and the World Nuclear Association) are both supportive of nuclear generated power. When you answer your question you should not just give propaganda from one side or the other with no commentary of your own. You have to evaluate the information and find sources that show, at least, two sides of the issue. Also, if you are looking for definitions you should try to find definitions that are relevant to your topic. The general definition of “radiation” is not enough for the topic of “nuclear power, because, of course, it involves the creation of unnatural HIGHLY radioactive substances, such as plutonium.

    To get another perspective on radiation and its dangers you could use a site such as following one: http://www.mapw.org.au/nuclear-chain/radiation

  2. I'm glad that you are making an attempt to answer your research questions and you have used two sources for addressing each question. That's good. But, be sure to contextualize the posting by explaining what the question is you are answering, WHY you feel you can trust those sources, and tell us what you learned from your sources IN YOUR OWN WORDS through paraphrasing. Each entry in which you answer a research question should be no shorter than 200 words. Here’s is an example of how to answer a research question on your blog:

    “Besides whaling, in what other ways are whales threatened?”
    http://vegetarianjodias.blogspot.jp/2011/05/answering-another-one-of-my-research.html

    There must be some EVALUATION of the information, telling us why you chose these as the sources of the information. Why are you satisfied that this is an adequate answer to the question. Also, you must show what contribution each source made to answering the question. For example, in your answer to the question "Are there any countries that use no nuclear power plant?" you didn't tell us if the two sources gave exactly the same lists or complementary information.
    Cheers,
    Joseph D.
