Nuclear power plant

For this project, I will be mainly focusing on the nuclear power plants in Japan. Nuclear power is a clean way to generate electricity that does not emit greenhouse gases that cause global warming and acid rain during the power generation processes. Nuclear power plants are also efficient. In early 2011, nuclear energy accounted for almost 30% of the country's total electricity production.  However, there are risks of processing the nuclear plants. Natural disasters such as earthquakes or hurricanes can damage the plants. Damaged plants might release radioactive materials that are extremely harmful to human health. Although Japan has had a disaster, nuclear power is still a clean way to generate electricity.
