1. The actual power generated: Nuclear typically gives base power, but it can also be used to regulate changes in demand, both of which the same amount of MW installed effect of wind power can't.. 2. Economic consideration: what does a nuclear power plant cost during it's life time? Will it lower the electricity prices during its life time and will that benefit the industry? How does the electricity market work in Singapore, can the government operate a nuclear power plant at a loss? How will it be financed? How will the cost/availability of peak demand power be? 3 Security: Both the usual stuff and the availability of nuclear fuels, is it a risk for oligopoly or foreign pressure? 4. Enviroment: Nuclear power vs Renewables vs Fossile fuel, it is climate change and the risk of nuclear power versus the points 1-3. | ||

If the teacher gives you a zero because you had no partners remember to try to go to a higher authority! Thanks! | ||

JC 1 now, I take H2 physics as my only science because I hate chemistry. In sec 3 you can still afford to do whatever the hell you like and get through, sec 4's a little heavyweight though. | ||

On a side note, given how you ranted about your friendless situation, I think it isn't too surprising that your project mates deserted you. I would suspect that they've probably planned on double crossing you from the start and are probably laughing about your situation now. | ||

Anyway, here are some sources for you. Scan them and write something useful: http://peace.junyx.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/How_Nuclear_Power_Works.pdf http://energiamia.org/downloads/IEERstatement_Fukushima.pdf http://www.energyblueprint.info/fileadmin/media/documents/energy_revolution.pdf http://www.foe.org.au/anti-nuclear/issues/nfc/power-weapons/g4nw http://uploading.com/files/888b24dm/13549839%252E2011%252E607160.pdf/ http://uploading.com/files/17e19139/science.pdf/ Also, look at the wikipedia page that discusses the nuclear debate, and cite the things they cite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_debate EDIT: Guess I'm too late, but seriously, when you're in high school it's so easy to get a good mark. Just think about the topic for 5 minutes and then find research to support your argument. | ||

We formed a pretty decent group of friends, basically people we could trust. Then the lecturer reassigns me to another group, formed by all the people that barely turned up at lectures, and had no idea what was going on. The project turned out to be a complete disaster. Only 2 out 5 actually did work (including me). One of them didnt have a clue so he was immediately useless, the other plaguerised a book almost word for word, and the other never even turned up in the meetings and handed in his complete shit work, with no references, 2 hours before the FINAL deadline. We failed miserably. We complained to the tutor, he said there was nothing he could do. The project counted for 50% of our final grade, and we basically just passed the subject, (the other 3 failed it) when it could have been an easy grade. This fucked up my final grade for my Master degree. What I should have done: after complaining to the tutor, I should have taken the matter further up, to the course leader. wow man fuck group work.. that sucks, my roommate got stuck in one of those groups, although our professor was nice enough to give him a grade cushion for somehow salvaging a 4man presentation by himself | ||

Sounds like you're in those top tier "elite" school edit : judging from your previous post , it seems like you're not in those elite schools. You're 15, you need to chill the fuck out. you seem very stressed out from your school work. I'm turning 17 this year , just got out of my secondary school after O levels. I'd advise you to make friends soon , its still early in the year , you have time. You'll need those friends next year when you are mugging for your o levels not only that , your friends will be the only thing keeping you sane when you are burying your face in your books. Enjoy yourself now , make friends , get a hobby to relax ( not starcraft ofc , something which gets you out of the house , hit the gym or something ) . The last person you wanna be is that dude who sits alone everyday all the time. People say hi to him , people notice him , but he doesn't have anyone to hang out with . You know what I mean? Don't treat everything in school so literally. School grades are school grades , your O level grade is an entirely different thing. You have to realise that there are somethings in school you cannot change and you have to work around it if you don't agree with it . I'll give you an example , I was forced to take F&N as a subject when i was sec 3 because my school had "insufficient" staff to teach bio or whatever their excuse was . On top of this , they didn't allow me to drop the subject when I hit sec 4 , fully knowing I had 0 interest in it. Ofc I was upset with their decision , but I went along with it , attended every lesson , every extra class , staying back 8 hours per week for the extra lessons for F&N subject alone. All in all , I did fairly well for my O levels , 3A's and 2 B's and a pass for my MT. Failed my F&N ofc. All I'm getting at is that there will be bullshit flung your way. You take the hits, but you roll with the punches and you go with the flow. oh yeah and relax :D Good luck man , kill it for your o levels next year , but for now , you can kick back and relax. | ||
