The Necessity of Nuclear Power As time goes by and the world becomes more advanced technologically‚ we develop a greater need for energy sources. Most of the fuels that we use today are non-renewable‚ such as coal and oil. Nuclear power is a source of power which brings many benefits. It is less expensive because it is based on uranium‚ which is easily accessible. With very little amounts of uranium‚ great amounts of energy can be produced. A significant advantage is that by producing energy

States must become cognizant that the use of nuclear energy is by far the most efficient policy regarding the creation of power despite the possible risks. This is the belief of William Tucker‚ the author of the New York Times published article‚ “Why I Still Support Nuclear Power‚ Even after Fukushima”. Although the production of nuclear power brings about possible risks‚ Tucker believes that the concerns regarding the creation of nuclear energy proves idle compared to the risks of

A nuclear explosion is caused by the release of energy in an atom‚ either through fission or fusion. Fission weapons cause an explosion by the splitting of atomic nuclei. This happens when a neutron collides with the nucleus of an atom. The protons in the nucleus are transformed into a great amount of energy and two or three more neutrons are sent out‚ which go on to split other nuclei. If this continues‚ a chain reaction will occur. The result is a gigantic explosion. To form a chain reaction‚ a

Nuclear Energy and the Environment In our society‚ nuclear energy has become one of the most criticized forms of energy by the environmentalists. Thus‚ a look at nuclear energy and the environment and its impact on economic growth. Lewis Munford‚ an analyst‚ once wrote‚ "Too much energy is as fatal as too little‚ hence the regulation of energy input and output not its unlimited expansion‚ is in fact one of the main laws of life." This is true when dealing with nuclear power. Because

Fast-growing India needs nuclear power as well‚ for its twin benefits: it’s both clean and can cater to people on a mass scale. India has been making advances in the field of thorium-based fuels‚ working to design and develop a prototype for an atomic reactor using thorium and low-enriched uranium‚ a key part of India’s three stage nuclear power programme.[7] The country has also recently re-initiated its involvement in the LENR research activities‚[8] in addition to supporting work done in the
