Nuclear Energy

"Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water." Albert Einstein

What is Nuclear Energy?
• “the energy released during nuclear
fission or fusion, especially when used
to generate electricity.” Google
• “Nuclear energy is the energy in the
nucleus, or core, of an atom. ... As they
split, the atoms release tiny particles
called fission products. Fission products
cause other uranium atoms to split,
starting a chain reaction. The energy
released from this chain reaction creates
heat.” National Geographic Society
Nuclear Warfare – And Who Used It
• “During the final stages of World War II
in 1945, the United States conducted
atomic raids on the Japanese cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the first on
August 6, 1945, and the second on
August 9, 1945. These two events were
the only times nuclear weapons have
been used in combat.” Wikipedia
• “About 13,400 reportedly remain in our
world today and there have been over
2,000 nuclear tests conducted to date.”
United Nations
The Effects Of
Nuclear Bombs
• “Nuclear explosions produce both immediate and
delayed destructive effects. Blast, thermal radiation,
and prompt ionizing radiation cause significant
destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear
detonation. The delayed effects, such as radioactive
fallout and other environmental effects, inflict
damage over an extended period ranging from hours
to years.” Atomic Archive

• “A detonated nuclear bomb produces a fireball,

shockwaves and intense radiation.” Seattle PI
My Opinion and
Thoughts
• “I think nuclear war should be discouraged. It
has terrible effects and I think it Is unfair for
anyone to use it on anyone. Nuclear power is a
dangerous weapon, and it is our duty to put it
in safe hands. The countries of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki still have babies being born with
abnormalities. My conclusion is that nuclear
energy is dangerous and the whole world
should agree not to use it.” Ebrahim k baig
