INDUSTRY - Discussion

Discussion:
Through a series of sources with a reputable name, information was sourced and used to construct a website. The information on this website is considered to be reliable through reading repeated information from various sites. Both (U.S.EPA, 2012) and (World Nuclear Association, 2015) gave the diagram and correct information of how a smoke detector works, this an example of the consistency shown in the sources used as information overlapped and matched. These websites make themselves valid through an author or organisations name and a date of publish. This information has been made valid and reliable as a secondary source.
