What is Nuclear Energy? Nuclear Energy comes from the splitting of uranium atoms. This proces is called fission, the explotions of the sun is energy that is a result of nuclear reactions. The Atom Bomb is and example of a nuclear reaction when it hits the groud, when it does the atoms in the bomb split and a BIG explotion happens and causes big damages, and will but radio reaction in the air for miles and miles. Nuclear Energy Into Electrical Energy

The fishion fuel of nuclear energy genorates heat. The heat is then transformed into steam. The steam is used to turn a turbine which is connected to a genorator. The spinning of the genorator produces energy.

When the neutrons hit other uranium atoms, those atoms also split, releasing neutrons of their own, along with heat. These neutrons strike other atoms, splitting them. One fission triggers others, which triggers still more until there is a chain reaction. When that happens, fission becomes self-sustaining.

What Is Nuclear Radiation? Nuclear radiation is the emmission of energy waves throgh space,also through phyisical objects. If you get to much radiation in your body you can die as an example if your within miles of a nuclear bomb you can get radiation and if your to close to it you will die. Usually these energy waves are electromagnetic radiation which are classified into,


 * Radio waves
 * Infrared waves
 * Visible light
 * Ultraviolet waves
 * X-ray
 * Gamma rays and
 * Cosmic rays



Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using Nuclear Energy One advantage of using nuclear energy is not having to deal with burning fossil fuels, because its is polluting the ocean with carbon dioxide. Also nuclear medicine can lead to the treatment of cancer and other diseases. A tiny small incy bincy amount of uranium can produce a large amount of energy. Nuclear reactors produce 20% of our electricity, the second largest ecxept for coal. Some disadvantages of using Nuclear Energy are the meltdown of the core, waste is also a major disadvantage, because it is a radioactive waste.

How Nuclear Energy Relates To Our Everyday Lives It helps us by powering our houses with electricity, and produces power for a lot of things. Nuclear energy is everywhere yoo never what your going to learn next.
