How it works?
Nuclear energy is a kind of complicated subject. It
all starts with nuclear fusion or fission. Nuclear fusion is the process when
two or more nuclei fuse to create heavier nuclei. Nuclear fission is the
opposite it is when nuclei separate to create lighter nuclei. When nuclear
fusion or fission happens it releases energy. One way it is used is in a
boiling light water reactor which turns water into steam which passes through
turbines with generators that turn kinetic energy into electricity.
Bad side
·
It could heat up oceans or any water
bodies
·
Accidents could be dangerous
·
It could release radiation
·
It could be used as weapons
·
Waste
Good side
·
New technology could purify waste
·
Less expensive
·
Renewable
·
Efficient
Which side I am in
I think we could somehow solve the bad problems with
new technology. I believe that scientists could find a way to harness the power
of nuclear energy without harming the environment in any way. Nuclear is so
efficient so why stop there. We might find better solutions on how to really
use this great source of energy.
