    Nuclear energy produces power through controlled nuclear reactions. Uranium and other radioactive elements are mined and processed as fuel in nuclear reactors, where their fission generates intense heat to produce steam and power turbines to generate electricity for the grid. Nuclear energy has the advantage of not producing greenhouse gases. While risks exist, nuclear power is safer and less polluting than fossil fuels which cause air pollution killing over 2 million people annually, whereas no deaths have been directly attributed to normal nuclear energy use.

    Ready for the futuristic way to produce energy

    Nuclear energy is the energy produced by a controlled


    nuclear reaction.
    Nuclear power generation starts from the mining and
    processing of uranium and other radioactive elements.
    These elements are used as a base material in the reactor
    power plants, resulting in a reaction known as fission that
    generates intense heat, and converts water into steam
    plant. Furthermore, the steam powers a steam turbine that
    will generate electricity and supply electricity to the power
    grid. One of the advantages of using nuclear energy is
    that theres no gas waste that could increase the risk of
    greenhouse gases.
    However, nuclear power carries some risks, but those
    arent nearly as great as the risks of burning coal, cooking
    the planet, and sending all sorts of deadly pollutants into
    the air. Air pollution kills two million people per year and
    much of that is due to fossil-fuel combustion. No energy
    source is risk-free, but I think its a safer, more efficient,
    and less polluting alternative to fossil fuels
    People sometimes think that a nuclear power plant could
    explode like a nuclear bomb, but this is not actually
    possible. As long as these controlled environments are
    functioning properly, and the waste of the reactions is
    properly contained, nuclear energy is not harmful.
    The reality, though, is that estimates suggest that around
    10,000 people die every year as a direct result of the
    normal coal-producing and burning industry, whereas
    there are no known deaths have every occurred from
    normal use of nuclear energy!
