This is why it is the element of choice for nuclear power plants. Uranium is special because it can go through what is called induced fission. Induced fission is when a free neutron is fired at an atom (like uranium). The atom will absorb the neutron‚ and immediately becomes unstable and splits

    efficient‚ clean‚ high out-put energy production. As a civilization we need not focus on what the past has held for energy production but rather what the present and future hold for us. Two key options are the long lasting‚ high out-put but environmentally hazardous option which is nuclear fission (nuclear power) and the safe but potential ground water contamination hazard which is geothermal energy. This paper will point out strictly fact based information on both forms of energy and which one shows the

    easily accessible‚ how it operates can be overlooked. We don’t have to know how it works as long as it works. Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s spent? Contaminated
