2. The plan Nuclear power is… The history of nuclear energetics Benefits of nuclear energy Problems associated with nuclear energy Belarusian nuclear power plant project

3.  Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity.  Nuclear power plants (NPPs) in 2012 provided about 5,7% of the world's energy and 13% of the world's electricity.

4. The history The first nuclear power station in the world. It was built in 1954, in Obninsk (USSR), about 110 km southwest of Moscow.

5. In 2013, there were 437 NPPs in the world, with a total capacity of 351 gigawatts

6. So what is nuclear energy? Risk?Or progress?

7. The benefits The benefits of nuclear energy

8. 1 uranium fuel pellet (the size of the tip of your little finger) = = 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1780 pounds of coal, or 149 gallons of oil.

9. Let’s see the full list of dangers connected with nuclear power plants: Release of radioactive particles Radioactive isotopes pollution The threat of nuclear accidents The threat of nuclear terrorism

11. Nuclear Disasters 26.04.1986, Chernobyl  31 died immediately  350 died during clean-up  24000 received serious radiation exposures

13. Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster 11.03.2011 Japan

14. The Nuclear Power Plant in Belarus AES-2006" project The III generation VVER-1200 type reactors - "AES-2006" project

15. It is expected to cost up to $5 billion The 1 st reactor - by 2016-17 the 2 nd one - by 2018-2020. The first 2 reactors - around 2400 MW. 2 additional reactors - by 2025
