Together nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams provide about 50% of the power generated for the United States doing so in a clean and efficient manner. Both systems have their ups and down‚ radiation and disrupting ecosystems for example‚ but their benefits far outweigh the small risks and problems they create. We have progressed in leaps and bounds in power development making these two much safer and efficient than most other ways to generate electricity. Hydroelectric dams create a substantial

The chemical reaction that creates nuclear power is known as nuclear fission. When uranium is blasted with fast-moving atoms known as neutrinos‚ they become unstable and split‚ releasing more fast-moving neutrinos and energy in the form of radiation (Redd). When nuclear fission occurs‚ there are byproducts of the fuel known as fission products. Fission products are highly radioactive and will be such
