questioned if I will in favor for nuclear power plant‚ I would say yes. Because Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants produce no controlled air pollutants‚ such as sulfur and particulates‚ or greenhouse gases. The use of nuclear energy in place of other energy sources helps to keep the air clean‚ preserve the Earth’s climate‚ avoid ground-level ozone formation and prevent acid rain. Of all energy sources‚ nuclear energy has perhaps the lowest impact

Nuclear weapons are the only type of weapon in existence that have the capacity to annihilate the human species and countless other species. The very existence of nuclear weapons leaves open the possibility that a nuclear exchange might take place. This could happen intentionally‚ inadvertently (as in the Cuban Missile Crisis when the U.S. and USSR almost blundered into nuclear war)‚ or by an accidental launch. The list of historical

Nuclear Fission v. Nuclear Fusion Similarities DIfferences Both fission and fusion generate energy. During both processes neutrons are released. Both processes create elements with a lesser mass. Both fusion and fission processes are capable of creating a nuclear bomb. Nuclear Fission When large unstable nuclei decompose into smaller stable nuclei. Produces a lot of radioactive particles. Nuclear Fusion A nuclear reaction when a larger nucleus forms when the nuclei of two atoms fuse together
