    Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms and uses the heat released to power electricity generation. It works by using nuclear fission to heat water and create steam that spins turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear energy has advantages over alternatives as it produces low greenhouse gases, has low maintenance costs, and results in fewer deaths per unit of electricity produced compared to other sources.

    NUCLEAR

    ENERGY
    By Bianca, Sara & Carmyn
    What is Nuclear
    Energy?
    Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus
    or core of an atom. Nuclear energy be
    used to create:
    electricity
    improvement of harvest
    food preservation
    How it works
    1) Nuclear energy heats the water to produce steam

    2) The steam is used to spin large turbines that generate


    electricity

    3) The nuclear power plants use heat produced during ficcion to


    heat water.

    4) In nuclear fission atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms


    that release energy
    The Pros of
    Nuclear Energy
    Pros

    Nuclear Energy has the least deaths per


    1000 TWH of electricity productions

    It has a low amount of greenhouse gases


    meaning it doesn't pollute the air

    Maintenance costs are low


    Conclusion
    To summarise we should be using nuclear energy because

    It has a number of sustainable advantages relative to


    alternative forms of generation.

    Maintenance costs are low

    Produces low greenhouse gases
