 Objectives:
understand how electricity is
generated from nuclear
fission/ fusion method.
learners have to learn about
renewable sources of energy.
 A 3a) Electricity is one of those facilities that can prove a milestone in rural development. Rural electrification has
many social and economic advantages.
• Tubewells can be installed for irrigation. This will also help to control waterlogging and salinity. Consequently, there could be a
marked increase inagricultural production.
• Small-scale industries can be developed to provide employment and to meet thedemand for industrial goods.
• The standard of living increases.
• People can use electrical appliances. People can receive the electronic media and access information technology.
b) i. Name two locations in Pakistan where nuclear power plants have been developed.
Ans: 1: The Karachi Nuclear Power Plant 2: Chashma Nuclear Power Plant
C) Ans: Advantages: First and foremost, nuclear energy is clean and it provides pollution-free power with no greenhouse gas
emissions. Contrary to what many believe, cooling towers in nuclear plants only emit water vapour and are thus, not
releasing any pollutant or radioactive substance into the atmosphere. Nuclear fission generates far more energy than fossil fuel
combustion such as coal, oil, or gas.
Disadvantages: Nuclear power plants are affordable to operate but are relatively expensive to construct. While no emissions
are produced in nuclear energy generation, a bi-product of radioactive waste is developed. The waste must be
stored in secure facilities to avoid polluting the environment.
