9. PSC 4010 Nuclear Technology
Lesson 1- Introduction:
Defining the Debate

10. PSC 4010 – Nuclear Technology
Energy
Is the ability to do work.
Many forms ( thermal (heat), chemical(bleach), magnetic (repulsion), elastic (Springs),....

11. Energy Energy is measured in many units:
Joule. The SI unit for energy is named after Prescott Joule an English Physicist.
Calories, British thermal Unit, electron volts, Kilowatt hours are all units of energy.

12. Energy through ages
Energy use increased with evolution and more efficient energy sources were required to keep up with the increase need for energy.
Wood was the primary source of energy. Gradually coal supplanted wood
Gas and oil replaced coal gradually

13. Energy consumption in Quebec
Quebec is one of the world’s leading energy consumers
Ton Equivalent Petroleum

14. The types of energy consumed in Quebec has changed over the years Before 1993 mostly oil After 1993 and now  mostly electricity biomass: plant material and animal waste used as fuel; sawdust, sugar cane(for ethanol), algae (for oil)

16. Modern society: residence use many electrical appliances
Electricity consumption in Quebec
2nd largest average per capita consumption of electricity in 1991
Reasons for this:
Modern society: residence use many electrical appliances
Electricity is cheap
Industrial society
The shift from oil to electricity

17. Electricity consumption per sector
Electricity consumption per sector Industries consume the most, followed by residential and lastly commercial. (page 1.7)

18. Smelting (iron works) and pulp & paper are responsible for most of the electricity consumption in Quebec. (see page 1.10)

19. ENERGY PRODUCTION IN QC
Quebec produces electrical energy using
Hydroelectric power plants ( Second largest producer in the world)
Wind turbines (Gaspé)
Oil and Natural gas (Cadillac,Bécancour)
Nuclear power plants (Gentilly)
Biomas (Témiscaming mill)

20. PSC 4011 Electricity what’s the connection?
Types of Electricity Generating stations

22. Hydroelectric power station

24. Nuclear Power Plant

25. Wind turbines

27. Diesel Generating station

28. Diesel Generating station

29. Health and Environmental consequences of Electricity production
