DEFINATION:Radioactive waste is a waste

product containing radioactive
material.
It is usually the product of a
nuclear process such as nuclear
fission though industries not
directly connected to the nuclear
industry may also produce

What is Nuclear
pollution?
Nuclear pollution happens

when radioactive elements

come into contact with other
elements in environment and
emits ALPHA and GAMMA
rays which is serious threat
to living organisms.
The phenomenon of nuclear

Causes: Fusion of radioactive elements

Effects of Nuclear
Pollution:Release of radioactive particles
into environment.
Radioactive isotopes pollution.
Water temperature increases.
The threat of nuclear accidents.
The threat of nuclear terrorism.

Effects On Living Organisms:

Skin Diseases.
Damages Of Reproductive Organs.
Causes Abnormality In Bone Marrow.
Destroys Retina Of Eyes.
Shortening Of Life Span.

Nulear Accidents:Nuclear accidents are classified as

nuclear accidents and incidents

depending on the severitys level. In
this classification nuclear accidents
and radioactive accidents are
included. To understand the difference
between these two types of accidents,
a nuclear accident could be the failure
of a reactor of a nuclear power plant
and a radiation accident could be
when pouring a radiation source to a

Latest Nulear Accidents: 2011 - Nuclear accident in the Fukushima

nuclear power plant, Japan

Fukushima nuclear power plant - The second
worst nuclear accident in history
In Fukushima, on March,11 2011 witnessed one

of the worst nuclear accidents in history after

the Chernobyl nuclear accident. An earthquake
measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale near the
northwest coast of Japan and a subsequent
tsunami affected severely the Fukushima
nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

Effects Of Nuclear Pollution On

Human Heath & Enviroment:-

Effects Of Nuclear
Pollution On Human
Health:
Nuclear accidents may produce fallout which can

pollute water supplies for years after the incident

The organism lives in water show sensitivity to

the radiations.

The 1986 explosion of a nuclear generator in

Chernobyl (Ukraine) created a large radioactive
cloud which polluted existing water supplies and
produced contaminated rain in nearby countries.

The radiations which are harmful influence

nature and occur in the coastal areas.

 The fishes and water polluted by the radiation. Nuclear

radiation can contaminate soil, leading to plants which
contain radiation and pose a health threat to
individuals.
Researchers explored the Marshall Islands, an area
widely known for nuclear bomb testing by the U.S.
military in the 1950s and 1960s.
They found that current soil samples and local foods,
including coconut meat, contained radiation levels
significant enough to pose a health risk to individuals.
Radiation also damages chromosomes.
It increases the frequency of chromosomal aberrations
and causes genetic mutations.
Such genetic changes may adversely affect plant
metabolism or change their characteristics in
subsequent generations.

Nuclear Bombs:Radioactive pollution that

is spread through the earths

atmosphere is called
FALLOUT.
The best example of fallout

is nuclear bomb attack on

Nulear Disaster:
The Fukushima nuclear disaster showed us once again that nuclear reactors are fundamentally

dangerous.
Not only do they cause significant damage to the environment, the health of populations and to national
economies, the heavy financial cost of a meltdown is inevitably borne by the public, not by the
companies that designed, built, and operated the plants
None of the worlds 436 nuclear reactors are immune to human errors, natural disasters, or any of the
many other serious incidents that could cause a disaster. Millions of people who live near nuclear
reactors are at risk.

be affected by the Fukushima

nuclear disaster, especially the
160,000 who fled their homes
because of radioactive
contamination, and continue to
live in limbo without fair, just, and
timely compensation. They have
only a false hope of returning
home, yet the Japanese
government is eagerly pushing to
restart reactors, against the will of
its people, and without learning
true lessons from Fukushima.

Fukushima Disaster:-

Control &
Prevention:
Preventive nuclear experiments.

Safe transportation.

Ban usage of nuclear weapons.

Proper storage.

Minimize use of nuclear elements

Extraction of radio active elements from nuclear waste.

Conclusion:Nuclear power plants provide about 6%

of the world's energy and 1314% of the

world's electricity.
Through the conscious of tragedy that
comes after nuclear technology, many
countries opposed to nuclear power.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
is exacerbating many of the problems
that nuclear energy is facing.

Status Report 2010-2011, for the first

time in history total installed nuclear
power capacity in the world (375
gigawatts) fell behind aggregate
installed capacity (381 GW) of three
specific renewable wind turbines
(193 GW), biomass and waste-toenergy plants (65 GW), and solar
power (43 GW).
It is everyones dream to find others
alternative power generator that can
take the place of nuclear reactor.
