M.A (PART 2) – POLITICAL SCIENCE

Atomic Energy is nothing but Nuclear Energy formed due to Fission or Fusion .

Each Time you think of Nuclear Energy there are two images which come into your mind ….

Disadvantage Of Atomic Energy - Waste Disposal – Radioactive waste cannot be disposed underground may result into serious hazard . Uranium – Non-Renewable & Hazardous element . Military Use – To threaten the countries – Race of Armament . Health Hazardous Security Issue – Terrorism Accidents – Eg.Chernobyl ,Fukushima may lead to disaster.

Advantages of Atomic Energy - Safe & Clean Energy Low Carbon Emission High Electricity Generation Nuclear Fuel for Space Research Easy Transportation Nuclear Technology in Agriculture & Medical Science

Best use of Atomic Energy ( Case Study – India & France )

FRANCE

INDIA

Challenges Short Term

• Safety & Reliability • Economic Competitiveness & Financing . • Public Perception • Proliferation • Infrastructure Building in New Nuclear Countries.

Long Term

• Spent Fuel & Waste Management Disposal • Effective use of Available Resources .

Way Ahead – For the Betterment …

Low Carbon Emission

Radioactive Waste Disposal

Safety Concerns

Conclusion - Use of New Technolgy – SMR & MSR – In Reactors . Advance New Designs that lower Financial Risk of constructing nuclear plants. Radioactive Waste Disposal – Through Storage . Energy can be reproduced through Transuranic Element. Effective Laws – Non-Proliferation , All countries together Renewation of Old Reactors .

Use of Thorium than Uranium Learn from the Accidents License Renewal After Every Few Years – For Safety

Measure . Technology to be used to mitigate risk than excuse to disband science

One Small & Safe Step of Man , One Giant Leap for Mankind …

If We Use it This Way ..

Than This …

It Would Definitely Prove to be as Frontier of Humanity

Many years to go for End of Humanity ..

But for Now , It’s End of my ‘Time’ & Slide
