Nuclear power

By, Brandi-Lee Getson

Nuclear power is:

People think that the energy comes from nuclear reactors in the plants.

But nuclear power is made up of atoms. Fissile material makes a reaction chain

and creates heat. The heat is used to boil water and make

steam.

Nuclear power was invented because:

It wasn’t invented. It’s part of nature It was found by a scientist in 1930’s. It was originally invented to make bombs

and then for generating electricity.

Nuclear energy waste:

Theirs a million tons of waste. Theirs a thousand tons of waste around

plants. This is caused by the make of nuclear

energy and nuclear bombs. People are worried about this.

Nuclear power is used because:

Nuclear energy is known to be quite damage to living cells.

Billions of microscopic explosions occur every second.

Nuclear power is cared for by:

Radioactive materials are added to the air, land, and water.

The government puts dispersion and dilution in the water and air.

Nuclear power plants are found:

There are numerous numbers of power plants throw out the world.

Such as in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, west Asia, East Asia, and Russia.

The energy it produces:

Seven percent of the worlds energy. Seventeen percent of the worlds

electricity.

The Advantages of the nuclear power plant is:

Nuclear power uses small amount of the earths coal and oil.

Coal and oil burns pollution in the air. They use lesser fuel then the fossil

burner plants.

The disadvantages of the nuclear power is:

Nuclear power explosions creates radiation.

This can make people sick. It has waste disposal damage.
