The effect on the shielding outside the power plant due to more total
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The high amount of the energy produces in the fission power plant than the coal-fired power plant.
The shielding used in the fission power plants can absorb thermal as well as radioactive radiation. The shielding in the coal-fired power plant undergoes only thermal radiation and no radioactive radiation is present in the coal-fired power plant. So, the shielding of power plant are manufactured only to minimize the thermal radiation.
The need of the shielding in coal-fired power plant is less than in the fission power plant.
Conclusion:
Thus, the shielding in coal-fired power plant is less necessary than in the fission power plant.
