NUCLEAR ENERGY

Nuclear Energy, a form of energy, a reliable resource, an answer to all our energy problems? Maybe... Nuclear Energy isn’t reusable, but its the next best thing. It lasts a LONG

time, and so powerful, it could lower America’s demands for foreign oil by 300 barrels in a year. Doing this, would lower our need to burn fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels, what ARE they? You might be asking. Well, they’re the stuff that makes your cars move, its the stuff that works our factories, and of COURSE it is the stuff that pollutes our ocean, kills our animals, and disrupts

our ecosystem. But, Nuclear Energy might just be the answer. Nuclear Energy, just might be the future of energy. Sure, we have Nuclear power plants all around the globe. That may be true, but WHAT IF, what if, instead of Fossil Fuels, we just use Nuclear Energy. The world

would be a much cleaner place. Cars running on Nuclear Energy instead of Fossil Fuels, the horizon NEVER ends...

Energy used All Around the World:

Nuclear- 6%

Hydro-6%

Coal- 23%

N-Gas- 21%

Petroleum- 33%

Biomass- 10%

Other- 1%

Energy used All Around the World

As you can see from the bar-graph to the right, Nuclear Energy is one of the LEAST used. Nuclear energy is a environmental form of energy. Sadly

coal and gas, which are VERY pollutant to the environment, are two of the MOST used forms of energy.

EnvironmentNuclear Energy is very “kind” to the

environment, as it doesn’t release any REALLY harmful chemicals into the air.

Such as Carbon Dioxide, or any Fossil Fuels.

The image below, is how Nuclear Energy is made, through Fission, later I’ll go into detail, and will also talk about the WONDERFUL WORLD OF NUCLEAR FUSION.

Atom

This is a picture of an Atom. The grape looking thing is actually

the Nuclei of the Atom. The Nuclei of the Atom is what is split

during Fission in order to create Nuclear Energy.

SAILINGFission

Nuclear Fission is one of the processes where Nuclear Energy is made. It is usually man-made, which is done by the help of Nuclear Reactors. Man-Made Nuclear Fission occurs in a Nuclear Reactor by shooting Neutrons at Nuclei. When a

Neutron hits an Nuclei, the Nuclei the does Fission, and the energy released from the Fission is Nuclear Energy. There is also a type of Fission that is called a “Chain Reaction” this

occurs when the element Uranium’s Nuclei is split. The reason this is a chain reaction is because when the Nuclei is split, it releases even MORE Neutrons, which in turn, split even

MORE Uranium Nuclei.

FusionFusion occurs in outer space. This type of Fusion is done

by stars and the sun. The extreme heat causes the stars and the sun to Fuse, which when they combine creates a lot of energy.

Fun Facts:-Nuclear Energy does not harm the environment-Nuclear Energy is dangerous if misused-Is very delicate-Is mined in some places.
