its very simple and easy to explain and understand.Based on the some popular nuclear disaster. some slides are dedicated to bhopal gas tragedy and one slide is given to fire hazards.

Nueclear disasters and fire hazards

2. What is nuclear accident
A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) as "an event that has led to significant consequences
to people, the environment or the facility." Examples include lethal effects
to individuals, large radioactivity release to the environment, or reactor
core melt.
4. Nuclear power plant accidents
1 Chernobyl disaster:
- Chernobyl disaster which occurred in 1986 in Ukraine.
- The accident killed 30 000 people directly and damaged approximately $7
billion of property.
- That caused 4,000 additional cancer deaths
2 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster:
- accident on 11 March 2011
- The accident was rated 7 on scale
- over 100,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes to ensure this.
5. Atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki
>The United States, with the consent of the United
Kingdom as laid down in the Quebec Agreement,
dropped nuclear weaponson the Japanese cities
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, during the
final stage of the World War II. The two bombings,
which killed at least 1,29,000 people, remain the only
use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.
6. Kyshtym disaster
The Kyshtym disaster was a radiological
contamination accident that occurred on 29 September 1957
at Mayak, aplutonium production site for nuclear
weapons and nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the Soviet
Union.
It measured as a Level 6 disaster on the International Nuclear
Event Scale,[1] making it the third most serious nuclear
accident ever recorded, behind the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
disaster and the Chernobyl disaster (both Level 7 on the INES).
The event occurred in the town of Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk
Oblast, a closed city built around the Mayak plant
7. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was an energy accident at
the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, initiated primarily by the tsunami of
the Tōhoku earthquake on 11 March 2011.
The damage caused by the tsunami produced equipment failures, and
without this equipment aloss-of-coolant accident followed with
three nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials beginning
on 12 March
It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 and
the second disaster (after Chernobyl) to be given the Level 7 event
classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.[8]
8. Bhopal gas tragedy
The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas
tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India, considered the
world's worstindustrial disaster
It occurred on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at
the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant
in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Over 500,000 people were
exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other
chemicals. The toxic substance made its way into and
around the shanty towns located near the plant
9. victims
generation are still suffering from nuclear hazards
A disputed Russian publication, Chernobyl, concludes that 985,000
premature cancer deaths occurred worldwide between 1986 and 2004 as a
result of radioactive contamination from Chernobyl.
The Kyshtym disaster, which occurred at Mayak in the Soviet Union, was
rated as a level 6,
8,015 people had died within the preceding 32 years as a result of the
accident
HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects of
the atomic bombings killed 90,000–146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–
80,000 in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the
first day.
10. Nuclear safety
Nuclear safety covers the actions taken to prevent nuclear and
radiation accidents or to limit their consequences. This
covers nuclear power plants as well as all other nuclear facilities,
the transportation of nuclear materials, and the use and storage
of nuclear materials for medical, power, industry, and military
uses.
The nuclear power industry has improved the safety and
performance of reactors, and has proposed new safer (but
generally untested) reactor designs but there is no guarantee
that the reactors will be designed, built and operated correctly
There should be a limit and rules on the use of nuclear energy
11. Fire hazards
Definition - What does Fire Hazards mean?
Fire hazards include all types of live flames, causes of sparks, hot objects, and
chemicals that are potential for ignition, or that can aggravate a fire to become
large and uncontrolled.
Catching the fire
Poor housekeeping.
Un-emptied grease traps (possible grease fires)
Dirty ducts (possible flue fires)
Improper storage of flammable items.
Faulty or frayed electrical cords.
an object, building etc that could easily catch fire or cause a fire and thereby endanger life
