2. Introduction
UiTM
• Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat
and electricity.
• A nuclear power plant is therefore a facility at which energy released by fission
(splitting) of atoms is converted to electrical energy under strictly regulated
operating conditions. Nuclear reactors produce, contain and control the release of
energy from splitting of Uranium 235 atoms. In electric power plants this energy
heats water to make steam which in turn drives turbine generators to make
electricity.
• The uptake of nuclear power technology has been growing over time across
different countries and regions. Various countries without existing nuclear power
technology in their power systems have expressed interest in investing in nuclear
electricity production, while developed countries with existing nuclear plants have
been expanding their capacities.

3. • Superheated water flows into a condenser
• Condenser needs cold water source and usually
it is located next to ocean or river
• the hot water are flow through a container filled with
cold water , heat is exchanged
• Hot water is either discharged into river,
ocean or vented into the atmosphere as steam

Powering our Nation
Reliability of electricity depend on
nuclear energy. The loss of nuclear
energy plants would have major
impacts on electricity price grid

Nuclear energy plants maintain an average
reliability of 92 percent. No other electricity
source can match this level of reliability, which
brings tremendous benefits to Malaysia

14. Environmental:Carbon free
UiTM
Nuclear power plants are the country’s
most prolific producers of clean energy.
They produce virtually no carbon dioxide or
air pollution. The closings of just a handful
of nuclear energy plants would have a
devastating environmental impact on our
country and make it nearly impossible for
us to meet our clean energy or carbon
reduction goals.

15. Nuclear energy plants contribute hundreds of thousands new
jobs and contribute crucially to the local economies in
communities where they work. These plants increase our
economy by produce millions of dollars in economic activity
and contribute consumers and
businesses with huge amount of
electricity at low cost. Each of the
nation’s nuclear plants employ
between 500 and 700 workers at
wages that are an average of 36%
higher than the prevailing local wage.
rate. Nowadays, governments need
To Subsidy huge amount of money
To support the cost of fossil fuel.
The Nuclear power plant is the best
way to reduce the subsidy.

Nuclear waste
The problem regarding safe
storage for nuclear storage is
still unsettle. The halve life cycle
of
nuclear waste is very long to
neutralize

but when consider overall of the nuclear
construction,the amount of CO2 is even
heigher than we expected.

Nuclear Insecurity
UiTM
No matter how efficient of
this nuclear power plant, it is still
consider very dangerous. One small
mistake may causing catastrophic
incident

19. Fukushima nuclear disaster
UiTM
The Fukushima nuclear disaster was a
catastrophic failure at the Fukushima I
Nuclear Power Plant on 11 March 2011,
resulting in a meltdown of three of the
plant's six nuclear reactors. The failure
occurred when the plant was hit by a
tsunami triggered by the Tōhoku
earthquake

20. Chernobyl Disaster
UiTM
The Chernobyl disaster was a
catastrophic nuclear accident that
occurred on 26 April 1986 at the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in
Ukraine, which was under the direct
jurisdiction of the central authorities of the
Soviet Union. An explosion and fire
released large quantities of radioactive
particles into the atmosphere, which
spread over much of the western USSR
and Europe

24. The general public might value the
relatively cheap energy produced by
nuclear power, but be concerned about the
perceived risks for people, future
generations and the environment.
Perception of nuclear power is always
follow political ideology. Citizens with more
left leaning views are more likely to hold
that nuclear power is a highly risky
technology as compared to those with
moderate or right leaning political views.

25. Nowadays, the way public looks at risky technology not only depend on
scientific study, but also on recognizing the dangerous and the
advantages. The higher the people believe the positive manners, the more
it will be acceptance. Eurobarometer survey studies show that many
people do not differentiate between the risks associated with NPPs and
the risks from radioactive waste disposal facilities.
Hazards awaken feelings of dread or afraid have been recently known
to potentially play an crucial role in the perception of risk as it involves
to large scale technologies. Public are much stigmatized. Due to some
catastrophic incident previous years, public afraid that the incident
could be happen again.as result, they are influenced by negative
feelings of fear and anger.

26. According to stud, in order to accept nuclear there are three type of people
1-egoistic
People who praise egoistic aspects will consider the construction of NPPs or
the implementation of radioactive waste disposal to be fair when egoistic
benefits (e.g. employment) outweigh the risks related to a new project.
2- altruistic
a policy to implement the same project for people with strong altruistic values
would be fair if social benefits(e.g. cheap energy) outweighed its risks
3-biospheric
The biospheric model of personality is a contribution to the psychology of
personality proposed by Andras Angyal in 1941. According to this model, the
biosphere is the system of the individual and her environment, consisting of
Subject subsystem (the individual) and Object subsystem (the environment).

27. The communication between authorities and public is very important for
any decision process. This is crucial to enhance the trust in local
authorities for explaining acceptability judgement. A recent research in
Sweden explaned how extensive information programmes in four
townhave positively changed the extent to which people accepted a local
radioactive waste repository.

28. How To Overcome
UiTM
Improvement in GHG emissions
•Exploit nuclear plants by integrate the heat and
power (CHP) systems to recycle the ‘waste’.
•using nuclear power for thermal processing with the
attendant increases in efficiency .
Eliminate nuclear insecurity
Eliminate radioactive waste
Gain public trust
This is most easily done by telling the truth,
providing open access to information to the
public in realTime.
Introduce an application on smart phone to
detect the level of radiation so that public can
get any update about the current radiation level

.
To provide a good safety level of the
public, place the plant at the center of the
country population. If this workable, then
investor will invest in this project and
government subsidy can be minimize.
Recycle the waste to reduce the amount
of mining process.

The future of nuclear power may be
controversial, but nowadays, there are

in 30 countries in the world, and for
better or worse, this power
source isn't going anywhere anytime
soon. In 50 years, the world
population will reach 10 billion
