Pandora’s Promise

Pandora’s Promise is a documentary film that was established in 2013. This movie mainly is about “ Nuclear Power in debate”; the dominant argument of this documentary is actually a safe and clean energy source that can help moderate the major problem of global warming. This documentary begins with demonstrating banners all over saying “There is no safe level if radiation”

In the very first beginning of this documentary, a woman presents a speech to the people around; her main concern was that nothing is safe anymore. We can switch to solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and ocean thermal. All this energy can be used today. We can shut all the nuclear plants and oil, since we have the technology, which is called “Solar Tobia”.

In Pandora’s promise, one of the main elements was the Nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor is a device that controls a nuclear chain reaction the main purpose of a reactor is that they generate electricity. In the 50’s there were two types of reactors. One of them was called the Breeder reactor and the other one is called the light water reactor.  The breeder reactor breeds plutonium and recycles it over and over again. On the other hand, the light water reactor is simpler but it produces much more waste. The light water reactor became principle commercial reactor.
