Changes are always there, in school, at work, home and other places. In my field of study, there are so many changes that have been made. One of these changes are based on the increased use of computers in chemical experiments and development of modern nuclear reactors. It has developed as a series of events which are lack of a sustainable electric power, an increase in need of durable electric power and then experiments about how to develop an environmentally friendly and a sustainable electric power producing plant that’s will also be economical in terms of the amount of employees needed, maintenance expenses and also reliable. The reason for choosing this focus is that this is a huge change in electric power production which has both negative and positive effects on the environment and the amount of power produced respectively. The increase in the use of computers in this field has changed the way electricity is produced, the cost of providing it and the general environmental effects of the whole electricity production process (North, 2017).

Production of electricity using nuclear power plants requires huge capital to start with and highly skilled personnel to help in the construction of the reactors. For this reason, most of the work of the employees is done by computers because it’s easier for them and they are more reliable than human beings. It’s also easier to spot errors when using computers. However, they have led to lying down of many employees, and they have also encouraged laziness among the workers in the plants (Hall & Hord, 2016). Great care is taken since a simple mistake or omission of a single step could lead to catastrophic results. A large volume of water is needed to cool down the reactors since very high amounts of heat were released from the reactors. The power plant must be located around a huge water body that has a sustainable amount of water. Computers are used. The thesis topic is the increased use of computers in nuclear electricity production. The main idea about this topic is the improvement of the increased use of computers in this field has brought to the general power industry, and I think the use of computers should be encouraged. The number of computers used in this field should be regulated because it might render many people jobless. Training should be done to employees to make sure they understand what the computers are doing. Should we allow computers to take full control of this sector? Why?
