There are a lot of things about nuclear energy. This topic has been discussed ad nauseam. So what is the truth? Nuclear power is the magic formula that will save the world, or is the power of evil to destroy?

Nuclear power certainly has at least one very interesting feature: there are fossil fuels. He does not have to be pumped from the ground. Moreover, the source of nuclear energy is uranium and uranium is not a renewable energy source. The largest known deposits in Australia. It is easy to remove and easily sent to nuclear reactor sites around the world.

The two processes of energy generation from nuclear fission and fusion are. Fission creates more than 10 million times the energy that is created in the combustion of fossil fuels. That’s the good part. Fusion, on the other (which is the core accession process) has not yet been controlled safely. Fusion occurs naturally in stars and the sun and nuclear reactors built by man.

And then there is the problem of what to do with all this kind of radioactive waste that is created when nuclear energy is produced. Nobody wants things. The old “not in my backyard” sentiment prevails. And no one should want. It is dangerous and deadly. Radiation accidents are a major concern of energy production in nuclear reactors.

The word “Chernobyl disaster” comes to mind nuclear reactor plant near Pripyat in the Socialist Republic of Ukraine broke the April 26, 1986 -23 years -. And the place is still a desert. We are told that “only” 30 people died in the initial explosion, but the number of cancer deaths caused by the release of radiation is more likely in the thousands.

So you can draw your own conclusions. There are advantages and disadvantages to nuclear energy.
