Currently‚ 12-18% of the world’s energy is generated through nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is created in nuclear power plants‚ specifically designed to withstand the process of nuclear fission. At a nuclear power plant‚ nuclear fission occurs inside the reactor containing a core with uranium pellets. As the atoms break open‚ neutrons are released. These then bump and break open other uranium atoms. This continuous process of breaking and bumping is called a chain reaction. When the uranium nuclei
