We want to find out about why government want to use nuclear energy to support electricity although nuclear reaction would give bad impact towards human life and environment, and are nuclear energy is the best answer for Malaysia.
The issues or problem that we need to explore is to study more details about nuclear energy advantages and disadvantage in economy, politic, and social aspect.
This topic need to be explored because we want to increase people awareness towards this current issues.
Determine the purpose
Purpose for this topic is to be research because this topic is now is current issue and to find out and explore about advantages and disadvantages since not many people/citizen well-known about this topic. First we would like to talk about advantages of nuclear energy to our country development, the idea for having nuclear energy plant is sound to the answer to the depletion of fossil fuel which is the main source of electricity in Malaysia beside coal and crude oil. Beside of that nuclear energy is does not emit a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) gasses which is a gas that contribute to the global warming, and so this is great news since people more aware about greenhouse nowdays. After that, in one single plant is possibly to generate high amount of electricity.
No matter how great it is sound to us nuclear energy is still have big disadvantages that we need to think twice if want to build nuclear power plant. The most importantly to know it is was nuclear energy is not a renewable energy so nuclear energy is not an ultimate answer to replace fossil oil which mean in the future we need to find others alternative to generate electricity again. Nuclear energy uses Uranium as fuel, which is a scarce resource. The supply of Uranium is expected to last only for the next 30 to 60 years or even a century (depending on the actual demand). A nuclear reactor plant can emit radiation, this radiation can harms and damage human body cell and can cause cancer and leukemia. The problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one. The waste from nuclear energy is extremely dangerous and it has to be carefully looked after for several thousand years (10'000 years according to United States Environmental Protection Agency standards).
Draw up a research plan
UMP student and lecturer will involved in our study
We will collect data using questionnaire that will be amongst student, and doing interview amongst lecturer.
We need permission to collect data because this topic is discuss about human life.
We need resources from internet and ask student and lecturer perception about this topic.
