1. how is nuclear power different from power generated by fossil fuel combustion? nuclear power produces much less carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. nuclear power does not require mining and disruption of the land. we have fewer supplies of nuclear fuel than we have of fossil fuels. 2. almost all nuclear waste is categorized as low-level waste transuranic waste high-level waste 3. the front end stage of the nuclear fuel cycle involves the mining and enrichment of uranium placement of fuel assemblies in the reactor core disposal of nuclear waste 4. which of the following is used as a moderator and to carry away excess heat in a nuclear reactor? water carbon dioxide gas uranium 5. control rods can be taken away from a nuclear reactor to make the fission reaction take place at lower temperatures convert to a fusion reaction go faster

1/Nuclear power does not require mining and disruption of the land.

2/transuranic waste

3/placement of fuel assemblies in the reactor core

4/carbon dioxide gas

5/take place at lower temperatures

i do agree with robert moses’ statements about wiping out cities that are an “impediment to new growth”. in order to have a positive community, the city must continue to grow either in terms of size or economics. therefore wiping out cities that restrict growth benefits the overall society and all the people living in it. similar to a social contract, i believe that if a person was to live in a community they must sacrifice some of their rights, in this case property, for the overall good of the people. as long as these people living in the cities are reimbursed and the purpose of wiping out the cities is to serve the public, there is no problem with robert moses’ core idea.
