Nuclear Energy

The field I am interested in...


1) Scientific aspect - nuclear fuel energy, facts, current events, three major types of damages in Japan after 3.11: economical, ecological, and psychological loss.


2) Critical Point of views - Pros and cons of nuclear energy in general. Convenience vs Eco-friendly
Problems of using natural resources- solar energy, wind energy because they take too long time. Somehow they are not functional.

3) The situations in other countries' nuclear plants such as US, France, Korea, etc.
   Other countries are more cautious about operating the plants and even thinking of shutting those down.
   The one in Korea has trouble because it was built long time ago likely 60s or 70s.
