ENGLISH PREDICTION FOR EVEN SEMESTER 2009

Text 1
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of
supplying energy by nuclear power. The radioactive material must travel
from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power
stations themselves are solidly built, the containers used for the transport
of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of
transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these
involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to
pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations
produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands
of years. It is impossible to make these wastes no radioactive, and so they
must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientist have
invented. For example they may be buried under the ground, or dropped
into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not
solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers
open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or
an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is
not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear
program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for
concern. On the whole though, the probability of disaster is still high.
