Nuclear_Power_Plants

Nuclear Power Plants Nuclear technology has been around for more then fifty years, and it has many uses. The biggest use of nuclear technology has been the nuclear power plants to generate electricity, and the need for electricity is growing at a rapid pace around the world. According to John Taylor, the Author of The Nuclear Power Bargain, “Electricity demand is projected to grow by 480 percent in a high economic scenario and by up to 140 percent in an ecologically driven scenario” (Taylor, 41). These numbers are just in the United States, and when the entire world is taken into account, the numbers get even bigger. There are many ways to tackle this looming need for power like building thermal power plants, which work off of coal and release many Hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, or dams, but many scientists believe that building new Nuclear power plants are the best way to increase electric production. Focal point of the paper will be on whether nuclear technology should be transferred to other countries in order to build new nuclear power plants in order to meet that new power needs.
