Introduction

Nuclear Power is an alternative power source that obtain sustain nuclear fission to generate heat. Which is energy can be produced by generated heat water and steam from the nuclear fission. But by using Nuclear fission, there is some disadvantages by using this method to generates energy sources. By using nuclear fission there is generates more radioactive waste and slightly dangerous rather than using Nuclear Fusion. These reaction appear more workable and likely to get survived but there is a problem to created this method on a scale   that could be used in a functional power plant during short lived radioactivity of product waste, low carbon emissions and prospective power output. As we know, nuclear reactor technology usually using very highly hazardous chemical such as uranium and plutonium for nuclear fission and fusion power advocates commonly propose to used deuterium and tritium or both isotopes of hydrogen as fuel. Which is all the material are not renewable in future. Some serious nuclear leakage and radiation have occurred for example the   Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine and Fukushima nuclear accidents in Japan after hit by tsunami. Every power plant reactor has a cooling system to removes heat that produced from reactor core and the thermal energy are used to generates electricity.
The Malaysian government lately announced that the country considering to build two nuclear power plant that generates 1000 megawatts each by 2020 and making it as primary power sources in electricity. Malaysia now on are depending on fossil fuel for its electricity supply , which is gas accounting more than 60% of Malaysia’s total energy production and the rest coming from other sources such as coal and hydro. Lately Russia, one the leading countries...
