    Nuclear power is produced through the use of nuclear reactions to produce nuclear energy that can then be harnessed to generate heat and create superheated steam to drive turbines. The most common nuclear reaction is that of nuclear fission‚ which is the splitting of an atom’s nucleus into smaller nuclei. Nuclear reactions are incredibly energy dense and thus allow nuclear reactors to make a tremendous amount of electricity. There are only 61 nuclear power plants in the United States‚ but they account

    Fossil fuels will not last forever‚ once it’s gone what will we use? Out of desperately‚ many have suggested nuclear power. Nuclear fission create heat by introducing a uranium rod into water; this process causes a neutron to splits a uranium atom in half to create heat‚ which then heats up the water to turn a turbine. In result‚ the turning of the turbine creates energy. Nuclear power plants

    Nuclear Waste: An Ongoing Issue In the United States‚ nuclear energy has been viewed as a cleaner and potentially limitless source of energy‚ especially compared to other fossil fuel sources such as coal and oil. There are over 100 reactors operating in the United States‚ which provide roughly 20% of the nation’s electricity.1 Of those reactors‚ there is no permanent waste disposal site currently existing in the U.S‚ after plans to build a facility in Yucca Mountain in Nevada were scrapped due

    Nuclear Energy Should Be Continued The use of nuclear energy should be allowed to continue for many reasons such as nuclear energy is cleaner and safe when handled properly. An example of where nuclear energy is cleaner than other forms of energy such as coal-burning is in how the energy or heat is produced in the plants. In nuclear power plant the energy or heat it produced by the fission of Uranium; in a coal-burning plant the burning of coal produces the energy or heat. The Uranium power plant
