Question

Research and then claim an application where solar or nuclear power is used. (Please try to keep the numbers even in that if you see mostly solar power applications selected, then go for a nuclear application, and vice-versa). For the application, you selected tell us about it and how it’s employed. Include any advantages or disadvantages for using it with respect to nuclear power. Finally, for the videos you watched, identify two of what you thought were the most important advantages of using each energy source to power say, a city of one million. Include a statement about your own opinion of which you’d like to be used in the future.

Answer 1

Applications:

Nuclear power is considered as another non renewable energy source.

1.Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.

2. Military application:Nuclear weapons are those weapons that use nuclear technology.

solar energy is renewable source of energy

1.The solar energy is used in residential homes for heating the water with the help of solar heater.

2.Solar energy can be used for power generation in remotely situated places like schools, homes, clinics and buildings.

Both solar and nuclear energy have their own advantage and disadvantage.

solar energy is renewable source of energy and also ecofriendly or we can say it is environmental friendly energy.Where as nuclear energy is not environmental friendly.Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn't mean it's clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment and doesn't come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown .

Also the main advantage of solar energy is it is less expensive then nuclear energy.Nuclear energy is costly.

As far as future is considered the solar energy is best because it is safe,ecofriendly ,less expensive and easy to adopt.So many numerous application of solar energy and can be used in any field.
