Nuclear Physics

Nuclear physics is the branch of physics and nuclear science that analyses atomic nuclei and their structure, along with the study of other types of nuclear matter. Nuclear physics must not be misunderstood with atomic physics, which studies the atomic element as a whole, inclusive of the electrons.

Question

Nuclear Accidents include: Fukushima Daiichi, Chenobyl and etc. What do you think the Nuclear Operator and government could have done for a more effective risk communication. To ensure the safety of people living near the area, give six concrete ideas with small description of each.

Discuss them with full justification.
The water engineer aims at prevention contamination of water supplies at all times. In most small water supply systems, however, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water service. This creates a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service taps. How would the water engineer ensure that the pollution do not pose a health risk to domestic consumption? Give example of factors to consider when selecting the material for the pipe.?
