ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Significance determination in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) practices refer to the judgements about what impacts are important, desirable or acceptable and their significance magnitude.

Three degrees of Significance Criteria have been taken:

​

  1. No significance = Green (0-3)

  2. Moderate significance = Orange (3-7) 

  3. High significance = Red (7-10).

 

Looking at the future, electricity is one of the main aspects that people aware. It is necessary to provide the sufficient amount of electricity but there are some negative impacts as shown in the table below.

 

Subjectively we have evaluated the degree of significance of each technology, in different fields.

We conclude that the two technologies with most significant negative impacts are the base loads, which are nuclear and gas.
