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.
