- Slide 4
- Introduction Important energy source in the world Particularly
in France (most nuclear power per person) Nuclear energy seems to
be an advantage widespread use may raise problems ? Dangerous
energy ?
- Slide 5
- I) the history of nuclear energy Research on radioactivity at
the origin of the discovery of nuclear energy discovered in 1938 by
Hahn and Strassmann 1951 : first civilian nuclear reactor (United
States) 1956 : the first reactor to emerge in France in Marcoule
Between 1970 and 1990, Generation II reactor is deployed.

- II) Advantages of Nuclear power Differenciate advantages in two
parts
- Slide 7
- a) Economic benefits major economic benefit. Offers many jobs
electricity is mainly supplied by nuclear quantities of electricity
supplied by nuclear is not comparable to other (wind turbine, water
dams,..)
- Slide 8
- b) Others advantages Natural resources of the planet (gas,
coal, oil in particular) are increasingly rare. nuclear saves
resources. No need of large space. Nuclear plants do not emit CO2
Nuclear power contributes to maintaining a high scientific level on
the territory.
- Slide 9
- III) Desadvantages of Nuclear power Like the advantges,
separate into two parts.
- Slide 10
- a) Environmental drawbacks Waste storage result some problems
Waste treatment does not completely suprime risks contaminated
water which cools the central (lake, ) Exposure to radioactive
materials can be deadly (Hiroshima, Tchernobyl, Fukushima, ) life
of a radioactive element very long
- Slide 11
- b) Economic disadvantages Nuclear energy is extremely
expensive. (maintenance and storage)
- Slide 12
- Conclusion One nuclear central can feeds several city Large
economical benefits If not control, very Dangerous Nuclear power
essential but scares people.
