2. The CNO-IV cycle is a related cycle to the CNO-I cycle but is only seen on massive stars.
It starts with an oxygen–18 nuclide and conducts the following steps: a hydrogen fusion
with a gamma ray release, a hydrogen fusion with a release of an alpha particle, a
hydrogen fusion with a gamma ray release, a positron emission, a hydrogen fusion with a
gamma ray release, and a positron emission. Determine the nuclear reactions and draw
a cycle that represents the CNO-IV cycle.

ID NO.: 2020-12251-mn-0 PAGE NO: 1
How would you then design a house that can shield you from nuclear radiation in case there is
nuclear fallout in your vicinity? Would it be practical to do so?
Although the likelihood of nuclear incidents is remote, the recent occurrences about this on news has made
the people aware that these can happen. Also, the nuclear preparedness seems to be having a misconception
as most people think that it is a gesture for being exaggerated or paranoid. Nevertheless, preparation is
important in order to keep ourselves and our families safe.
In order to be prepared, one of the practical ways is to design our house with a nuclear fallout shelter or
also known as underground shelter since the more mass or distance we put between ourselves and radiation
the better. It is also a good idea to if I use 2-foot-thick concrete walls and dome masonry roof as it will provide
the most protection and is the recommended minimum thickness for an above ground concrete fallout shelter.
Aside from that, I will use 90-degree turns at doorways and air ducts considering that radiation cannot make
turns. I have also learned the importance of ample mass that it can block the radiation so I will consider having
it inside my shelter. Along with this is the air filtration in order to prevent inhaling or ingesting radioactive
material. I will also design a storage for water, food, and other important stuffs for several weeks.

ID NO.: 2020-12251-mn-0 PAGE NO: 1
You are asked to give an opinion about whether the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant should be
reopened or not. Give both advantages and disadvantages of doing so, and by weighing these,
state if you are pro or anti in the reopening of the said power plant.
I am pro in the reopening of Bataan nuclear power plant since most of the Filipinos are paying high amount
of money every month for electricity. It is undeniably evident that the electricity here in the Philippines is so
expensive. Thus, we need a source of energy which is safe, clean, and cheap and that is the nuclear power
plant. However, considering those people who are con in this idea, their fears, or disadvantages that they
believe is that it is a harmful way of generating electricity. They think the nuclear wastes will contribute to the
global warming and it is extremely dangerous for humans. Another thing is that it is expensive. But the thing is,
nuclear plants require a small amount of land, with that, it can produce power for 4 million people. In terms of
the effect in the environment, nuclear energy does not produce air pollution. I think those are the reasons why
I agree on reopening the Bataan nuclear power plant. I believe that this is a way for us to become an
advanced country.
