Radiation - Coggle Diagram
Radiation
Nuclear energy
Positive
- Small amounts of radioactive material can be used to create large amounts of energy
- Nuclear energy provides near limitless energy if radioactive material is kept in check.
- No toxic fumes are produced when making nuclear energy
- Only small amounts of mining and processing are needed to use radioactive material
- The material takes thousands of years to decay making it a good long term investment
Negatives
- Building and mining for the material is very costly
- Radioactive waste is produced from making nuclear energy which can poison nearby landscapes
- Radioactive material is unstable making it highly explosive if handled incorrectly
- Constant exposure to radio active material can harm workers in power plants and any animals living nearby
- Radiation that escapes the plant can effect nearby wildlife and poison rivers making it inhabitable and undrinkable.
Radiation therapy
Positives
- Therapy has a higher chance to kill cancer
- The study of Radiation Therapy contributes to improvements in other medical areas like X - rays
- Radiation therapy uses much less produced pills and medication meaning less polution.
Negatives
- Radiation therapy does not have a 100% success rate.
- Treatment will cause patients to experience large amounts of discomfort and illness like nausea
- Side effects of therapy include loss of hair and nerves
-
