Atomic energy By: Hiram A. Murray III Background info The origin of the phrase atomic energy check in from the years of 1905-10. It is defined as energy released by reactions within atomic nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. Now a days it is referred to Nuclear energy. Nuclear power uses fission (splitting atom nuclei) to produce energy. Atom nuclei is also none as the nucleus (center of the atom). Around 6% of the world’s energy and 14% of the world’s electricity is produced by nuclear

NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the centre ‚ or nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the most powerful source of energy that exist. Nuclear energy is use in scientific research and in medicine treatments. It powers satellites and submarines‚ and it is used to produce electricity. People have also put nuclear energy to destructive uses through the creation of weapons.1 Nuclear energy also called ATOMIC ENERGY‚ energy

Energy conservation has become one of the most hotly debated subjects in the world. Old power plants are struggling to keep up‚ sometimes causing power shortages or “brown outs”‚ and new power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors. Some have even been ‘repackaged’ to appear cleaner in

Sustainable energy is defined as the provision of energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable energy sources include all renewable energy sources‚ such as tidal power‚ wind energy‚ wave power‚ geothermal energy‚ hydroelectricity‚ solar energy‚ and bioenergy. The world is in need of more sustainable energy. New technologies are being developed and expanding on to aid in preserving the earth and going green

Using alternative sources of energy of the dependency on fossil fuel such as coal may reduce the greenhouse gas emission impact on the environment. Nicholls (2009) speculates that using clean energy that depends on natural wind‚ sun and geothermal in not only practical and has economical advantages but it also may be able to reduce the CO2 emission to 50% by 2040. In addition‚ sustainable energy is not only essential for Australians
