Should Nuclear Energy be a topic in this years
presidential election?

• According to studies taken on May 9, 2008 we
  learned that out 85 individuals surveyed, 43
  agreed that nuclear energy should be a concern in
  this years presidential election. It is our
  planet we are talking about. 11 Strongly
  disagreed and said that there were more important
  issues to be discussed.

Is Nuclear Energy a Safe Source of Energy

• From one of the questions that was asked in the
  studies taken on May 9, 2008 we learned that out
  85 individuals surveyed, 52 disagreed that
  nuclear energy is a safe source of energy. 8
  Strongly agreed and said that technology has
  improved the safety of nuclear energy production.

Would you support the construction of a nuclear
power plant in Stockton?

• Out of 84 people we interviewed, 42 said a
  nuclear power plant should not be built in
  Stockton.15 said they strongly agreed. The
  people who disagreed felt that having a nuclear
  plant in the city would be dangerous and the
  people who agreed said that using nuclear energy
  was safer than the kind of energy we use now. I
  believe that people in Stockton strongly oppose
  to the construction of a nuclear power plant
  because they believe that it is dangerous for all
  the residents.

Irans Nuclear Program

• We surveyed 85 people in Stockton and asked them
  what they knew about Irans nuclear program. 38
  said that they knew nothing about it, and 19
  said they were very well informed on the topic.
  We concluded that there are so many things that
  we do not know about the world and how it can
  affect our daily life. With one blink of an eye
  we could all be death and most of the survivors
  would know very little to nothing on why and how
  it happened.

The Processing of Nuclear Fuel for Nuclear Weapons

• On May 9, 2008, we surveyed a total of 88 people
  in Stockton California. We asked each and
  everyone the same question about nuclear energy.
  The question that we asked was, Have you heard
  about the reprocessing of nuclear fuel for
  nuclear weapons? From the 88 individuals
  surveyed 57 showed that they had never heard
  about the reprocessing of nuclear fuel for
  nuclear weapons. Only 8 of the individuals said
  to be informed about the reprocessing of nuclear
  fuel.

7
International Treaties Concerning Nuclear Weapons

• During the same survey we asked 87 individuals
  from the city of Stockton California how well
  they are informed they were about International
  Treaties concerning nuclear weapons? 44 showed
  to not know about the International Treaties at
  all and only a small 5 acknowledge the
  International Treaties.
• After the survey was concluded I believe that the
  not only the populations from Stockton California
  need to be more informed about what is going on
  in our current events. If more individuals were
  informed it would created a bigger impact when
  wanting to create changes involving the nuclear
  energy.
