Q.1) The Establishment of nuclear plants Is opposed by the people today ? why ?

A ) If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large
regions uninhabitable. And, more than 50 years after splitting the first atom, science has yet to devise a
method for adequately handling long lived radioactive wastes.
For years nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste
pools into the ground water at sites across the nation.
In addition to being extremely dangerous, the continued green washing of nuclear power from industrybacked lobbyists diverts investments away from clean, renewable sources of energy. In contrast to nuclear
power, renewable energy is both clean and safe. Technically accessible renewable energy sources are
capable of producing six times more energy than current global demand.
Nuclear power is an efficient and volatile method of creating electricity using controlled nuclearfission, or,
less commonly, nuclear fusion. Most nuclear power plants create energy by submerging uraniummolecules
in water and then inducing fission in the molecules. This process heats the water, which is transformed into
pressurized steam that turns a turbine powering a generator, creating energy. Some nuclear plants use
plutonium or thorium instead of uranium, while others fuse hydrogen atoms to create helium atoms, a
process that also causes heat and, subsequently, energy. However, uranium fission is overwhelmingly the
most popular form of creatingnuclear power because the element is more common than plutonium or
thorium.
Except for the reaction itself, the method by which nuclear plants create power is no different from coal or
oil powerplants. Due to the danger of radioactive waste, however, the infrastructure of nuclear plants is quite
different from other types of power plants, incorporating concrete radiation shields enclosed by steel
containment fields.
Because of the serious ramifications of a radiation leak or a plant meltdown, many people are opposed
to nuclear power. The process of creating a nuclear reaction is very precise. If the process creates too much
heat, a nuclear powerplant can essentially become a nuclear bomb. Even with proper nuclear
power plant safety, the ability to create suitable storage and containment facilities for the significant
radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants, which remains toxic for centuries, has remained
elusive. Many critics also fear that in the wrong hands, nuclear materials could be used for weapons instead
of for electricity.
Despite the dangers, a properly running nuclear power plant can be safer and less toxic than many other
types of powerplants. Nuclear plants are designed to contain all residual radioactivity in specialized
facilities. Presuming a plant does not have any leaks or structural problems, it will actually release one
hundred times less radioactivity than a coal powerplant, which also expels carbon, sulfur, and other harmful
byproducts directly into the air. Uranium mining is a dirty process, but not more so than coal mining.
Unlike other alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, and water, nuclear energy is capable of
producing the massive amounts of electricity necessary to meet the energy needs of the United
States. Though expensive to establish and potentially dangerous, nuclear power is seen by many as the best
tool for achieving sustainable, renewable energy

Grasslands of the World

Grasslands are found on either side of two desert belts that circle the earth. About one quarter of the earth's
land is in the grasslands.

Tropical grasslands -- those closest to the equator -- are hot all year.
Temperate grasslands are farther from the equator -- such as the U.S. prairies -- and have both
hot summers and harsh winters.

Temperate grasslands once covered much of the interior of North America, and they were common in
Eurasia and South America as well. They are highly productive when they are first converted to agricultural
uses because the organic material in the soil comes from hundreds of thousands of years of decomposition.
In North America, the prairies were once inhabited by huge herds of bison and pronghorns, which were
hunted by wolves, bears, and other predators. Where U.S. prairies have been converted to farmland, the
large herds and predators that followed them are gone now.
In addition to the prairies of the U.S. Midwest, the world has other grasslands which go by different names.
In South America, grasslands are called "pampas"; in Europe, "steppes"; in Africa, "savannas".

Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern over the environmental pollution the factory was
created in the my surrounding areas.

There are wide fields in the close proximity of this area. The factory shall emit poisonous smoke which will
destroy the wheat and rice crops. Our environment is already polluted and the Ozone layer has already been
damaged. Therefore, the green patches must be left untouched and not be encroached upon by the industrial
units.
All factories that produce carbon and other wastage that damage atmosphere should be install out of the city
in isolate area.
We can do plantation more and more to overcome these problems by ourselves.

I appeal to the government to reconsider their decision as the farmers, whose lands are being acquired, have
also started an agitation.
Kindly request you to resolve this issue as early as possible and keep my name disclosed from Kumari
.Lakshmi Priya ,.

Sincerely,
M.Lakshmi Priya
