    Hello. In this report I will be informing you about nuclear energy. Prior to giving this information‚ let’s look at some history. Ancient Greek philosophers were the first to come up with the idea that matter is made up of invisible particles. The Greeks called these invisible particles "atoms"‚ which is Greek for invisible. Scientists studied this idea in the 18th and 19th centuries. After many experiments physicists found out that atoms contain a large amount of energy. Ernest Rutherford

    19 Nuclear Energy 19.1 Energy in your life Almost everything around us uses electricity and in order to power these devices‚ we must generate it. To create electrical energy‚ we must create thermal energy. Several techniques include using coal‚ natural gas‚ or nuclear thermal to create heat. Once heat is created‚ it is used to vaporize water and use the steam to propel a piston which turns an electric generator. Alternative energy sources include wind‚ solar‚ and micro hydro. 19.2 Nuclear Structure
