Today i have finished my speech and the video i sound like a baby. here is my speech and video.
Hello I'm Jayden and I am going to talk about nuclear power plants and how they work and if one blows
up.
There are 440 nuclear power plants in the world. The United States has the most nuclear plants.
Nuclear power plants can make around 1 gigawatt a year. 1 gigawatt can power 725,000 homes.
Nuclear power plants use uranium as fuel they cut it up into pill pallets and then into the control rods.
(The control rods will give you control of the reactor temperature if there are no control rods.
(The temperature gets too hot and then it blows up) When the reactor gets to a high enough
temperature (The reactor holds the control rods inside of it and it boils water but it does not
evaporate) It will boil the water and then the water will not turn into steam it will go into the
steam generator (The steam generator is when hot water go into it will turn the water into steam)
Then the steam will spin the turbine and the turbine will spin the generator and then it will create
power and the extra steam will go out of the cooling tower(Cooling towers is when extra steam will
go into the air to become clouds).
If the nuclear power plant blows up the city or town will have to be deserted. The nuclear power plant
blows up the radiation and will stay there for 20,000 years. There is a city that had a nuclear power
plant blown up and the people working there decided to not tell the citizens to evacuate and around
30 people died. This disaster was called the Chernobyl Accident.
Australia has nuclear power plants. That's really unexpecting for Australia having a nuclear power
plant. they don’t use that for power they use it for OPAL research and to get nuclear medicine.
NZ used to have a nuclear power plant.
WHy/why not?
New Zealand got rid of their nuclear power plant to be a nuclear power plant free country.
In Australia they are not using nuclear power plants for power.
Nuclear power plants are just like turning heat into energy.
