Cause & Effect speech outline Topic: Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster created contamination and negative attitudes toward nuclear energy. 1. Introduction A. Attention grabber: “The reactors began to explode and melt down. The disaster exposed a familiar legacy of poor design and corner-cutting.” According to words from journalist George Monbiot that is environmental activism. Today I will explain you one thing. The effect of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. B. Who(Credibility statement) In that day, 11 March 2011 that is the day of disaster. About 1 week that I had watched news on television about this disaster. It was very terrible situation. After that I suspected Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, will makes any effect to humanity? …show more content…
1. Firstly, I will tell you, how Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster occurs. 2. Secondly, I will explain you this incident create contamination. 3. Finally, I will explain you about Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster create negative attitudes toward nuclear energy. Transition: Let move on to the first part is how Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster occurs. 2. Body A. How Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster occurs. SD1: Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster starts by the tsunami, starts by earthquake and start by human on 11 March 2011 in Japan. The tsunami disabled the emergency electric generators that provided power to control and operate the water pumps to cool the reactors. SD2: Explainer: What Went Wrong in Japan 's Nuclear Reactors, Eliza Strickland, spectrum.ieee.org, last updated on May 13, 2011, that lacking of water pumps caused nuclear meltdowns, explosions, and the releasing of radioactive material on 3 reactors from 12 March to 15 March. Transition: This is a little detail about Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Now let me tell you about 2 effects from this incident. First effect is Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster creates
In chapter four of the novel Wormwood Forest by Mary Mycio, Mycio explains the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear reaction, and how it had changed the ecosystem drastically. Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine that was operational during the time of the Cold War. This power plant had a sudden power surge in its reactor Unit 4, which resulted in a devastating incident. This caused large amounts of radioactive materials to be released into the air, and causing a level seven nuclear disaster, the highest level possible. After reading this chapter, it made me consider the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima 70 years ago, and the level seven nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan.
The thing that I reacted to the strongest about was when the people were able to light their water on fire because of all the natural gas and chemicals in it. Imagine putting that into your body and yet these companies think that it is absolutely harmless to the environment and people. Another thing that caught my attention was how cattle and animals were affected
(Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The bomb killed eighty thousand people instantly. Radiation exposure killed tens of thousands more. The bomb destroyed ninety percent of one of Japan’s biggest cities in an instant. Therefore, the event that occurred at Hiroshima was a huge shock to the
This mistreatment caused the Cuyahoga River to catch on fire and the Santa Barbara oil spill, both occurring in the year 1969. At the time, the Santa Barbara oil spill was the largest in our nation’s history. The powerful images of both the Cuyahoga River on fire and the wildlife and environment in California being ravaged because of the deep-water oil spill helped change Americans’ attitudes toward the environment. This sprung the creation of the Modern Environmentalist
If we look at chernobyl, future generations installed safety features into nuclear reactors that prevents them from melting. We learn from our
The effects of cheap energy an how they have molded us to a generation that does not care to mind the outcomes of our actions. As discussed in the article, Pollan cites an analysis stating that if an individual were to drastically change their daily routine to a more
Innocent people who were living their lives were greatly affected and the many generations following them because of the United States use of the atomic bomb. Many people who lived in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and surrounding cities were directly effected with life threatening cancers, radiation exposure, and birth defects. The radiation that the civilians were exposed to was in such high amounts that it lead to many different types of cancer for the survivors. Not only the survivors were affected, later generations from the survivors were born with serious birth defects including club foot and having additional fingers and toes. The people born with birth defect were not alive during the bombings and still have to pay the
This event was essential because it was the worst single firestorm in recorded history. The devastation continued for Japan because within the matter of months, the U.S. would drop two atomic bombs in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and
For as long as man has known fear, lusus naturae have terrorized our imaginations: some entirely legendary; others based on bigoted knowledge. Folklore of many ancient beasts, for instance dragons, have lasted generations. Indeed we know devils do not exist, but they serve purposes other than scaring; they educate. From monumental leviathans, such as Ishirō Honda’s Godzilla, who informs of fissionable threats, or Ray Bradbury’s plesiosaurus, who gives a window en route lonely minds, to insentient revulsions, exemplified via Robert Louis Stevenson’s Mr. Hyde, monsters give mosaic slants that allegorically educate.
The atomic weapon destroyed most parts of the a Japanese town of Nagasaki and Hiroshima .
Deaths that were not immediately caused by the explosion were ultimately caused by high levels of radiation. Short term effects include the unwarranted deaths of countless men, women and children. In terms of long term effects, those who survived the bombs showed highly
People rode their bikes, pushed wagons, walked and rode their boats down the river. They all had an idea something was going to happen from hearing about it on the radio and all the talk around town. Not knowing the exact time something was going to happen was horrifying for the people all over. The nuclear bomb that hit Hiroshima not only destroyed the environment but also destroyed the lives of both the people killed and the survivors that lost so much that day. As the bomb went off, the beautiful city of Hiroshima was destroyed within seconds.
More recently developed nuclear weapons prove to not only be more violent than those used during the Dresden attack, but to also be more physically and psychologically destructive. Along with the initial effects of the weapon, which destroys both people and property, deadly radiation from the bomb causes lasting health issues for the survivors, such as leukemia and radiation poisoning (Schull). Furthermore, the evacuation and relocation of those who lost homes and jobs in the area of attack would not only be expensive, but would also have significant negative social repercussions - both of the loss of productivity of the workforce during this time, as well as on the mental health of those forced to abandon their homes and

Abstract and introduction: The energy crisis problem, Introduction of the topic (nuclear energy), thesis statement, why the problem is important, how I'm going to analyze and solve it in the next chapters. 2. Chapter 1: Historical background and functioning of nuclear energy: The history and how does nuclear energy work is critical to understand the uses and the dangers of this type of energy. 3.
The Tohoku Earthquake was the most powerful earthquake recorded to have hit Japan. The earthquake was a magnitude 9.0 off the coasts of Japan that occurred at 2:46pm on Friday 11 March 2011, which triggered a powerful tsunami that reached the height up to 10.4 meters. A Japanese National Police Agency reported 15,889 deaths, 6,152 injured, and 2,601 people missing, 127,290 buildings totally collapse, 272,788 buildings half collapse, and another 747,989 buildings partially damaged. The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami caused severe structural damage in northeastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads, railways and dams, not to mention fires in many areas. It was the toughest and the most difficult crisis in Japan after the World War 2 leaving
