Description of Our Community: Our school is located in Da-an District, Taipei City.Taipei is Taiwan's best city. There are about 260 million people in Taipei City.Taiwan currently has four nuclear power plants, of which three are running.Northern two nuclear power plants and the nuclear power plant, which is going to stop building, is within 40 km from downtown Taipei.Once a nuclear disaster occurs, it is bound to evacuate more people.At the same time, it is difficult to imagine the consequences.It will make the island into crisis.Taiwan did not happen nuclear disasters in the past.The Government does not provide enough information to the general public, so the general public does not think nuclear disaster would happen and would not notice how to prevent nuclear disaster. But now, we should learn lessons from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The government and the people should have a sense of crisis for related disaster preparedness, or it will be too late.

Project Description: Recently, the news topic is often related to the nuclear power plant issue. Without nuclear power, what will replace nuclear energy?Will alternative energy sources increase the cost of electricity generation, electricity and affect people's livelihood, quality of power supply?Will alternative energy sources be relatively clean without pollution?Although nuclear power is known as clean energy, accidents happened at Three Mile Island of the United States, Chernobyl of Russia, and Fukushima of Japan.Once a nuclear disaster occurs, it not only has a significant impact on the economy, and even threatens the health and lives of residents.For ecology, the impact is great.At present, Taiwan society appears possession of nuclear / anti-nuclear different sounds. Possession of nuclear side considers nuclear power is clean, safe, and cheap. Anti-nuclear party advocates renewable energy is safe, environmentally friendly, sustainable use.In any case, as part of living in Taiwan, we should cherish our beautiful land, and plan for a good living environment.
