In this essay written by GengXin, he wrote mainly about the future development of the nuclear power and he focus mainly on one specific nuclear techonology – VHTR.
At the beginning of the essay, he argued typically about the current global tendency of the exhuasting energy sources. If such energy as oil and fossil fuels are comsumed at present rate, they can only be available for at most another century whithout saying that they are being used at increasingly fast speed. Hence, GengXin raise the importance of making use of another type of energy – nuclear power.
Among the six major design of the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP), as what he figured out, VHTR is the most practical and workable one. Then following this statement, he presented some of the advantages of this design to support its future development. For instance, it is more efficient, environmentally-friendly and safe since there are less radiation in the remaining reacting sources.
However, in this part, even though he successfully persuaded me that the VHTR is the most possible way and provided me with some of the interesting things I have never know, these things are so professional, and as a reader, I want to hear his own voice. When he is introducing this technology, besides some theoritical thing, he can still tell us about what opinion he personally hold upon this operation. In that way, I will be more interested and even inspired, because what I know through his essay is not merely some knowledges but also some arguments I can do futher thinking.
Anyway, this essay is well-written, I think. If he can suitably cut the information part and add more thoughtful and discriminant things to it, it will surely be a good job! (*^_^*)

Thank Fan Lei for the review.From the discussion with Fan Lei and this peer review, I realized that there are some flaws in my essay:
ReplyDelete1.The introductions to the very-high-temperature-reactor is too professional. For those who do not have basic knowledge about the very-high-temperature-reactor, or just nuclear reactor, it would be a bit difficult to understand.
2. There are excess introductory parts to the VHTR but lack of arguments from my own point of view to support my notion or to rebut the oppositions.
In order to improve on these points, I will try to revise my essay to make the language more plain, not that technological. Meanwhile, add some arguments of my own to support the idea to rebut the opposition.
