Nuclear+Energy

Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, is a power that is produced from controlled nuclear reactions. Nuclear energy is usually used for creation of electricity. About 15% of the world's electricity is produced from nuclear energy.


 * The process**: regular thermal power plants use the heat of burning fossil fuels to create steam, and the steam is used to activate the turbine that activates the electricity generators. In nuclear plants the process is very similar. The only difference is that instead of burning fossil fuels, the power plant realeses thermal energy from nuclear fission.

This way of creating electricity is a very good one. It isn't polluting at all. I think that the regular thermal plants should be replaced by the nuclear ones, and by doing so, we will solve the global warming problem, and stop a big part of the pollution.





Nuclear power is using, producting or resulting from the energy that is produced when the central part of an atom is split.
