    Website states that "Uranium is the most efficient power plant fuel. A single uranium fuel pellet, about the size of a pencil eraser, contains as much energy as: *149 gallons of oil *157 gallons of gasoline *1,780 pounds of coal *17,000 cubic feet of natural gas Nuclear power is carbon-free and emits no greenhouse gases. It produces 20 percent of America's electricity and almost 75 percent of all emission-free power generation, nationwide."

Benefits of Nuclear Power - 4 views

  • the main advantage this type of power has over other methods is that it is a clean way to produce energy as it does not result in the emission of any of the poisonous gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or nitrogen dioxide
  • The disposal of nuclear waste which results during the generation of nuclear power is much easier because it is just dumped in to a geological site where it decays over a period of time and has no negative impact on the ecosystem
  • Nuclear power is safe
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • sporadic incidents when compared to the rate of accidents which occur in fossil fuel industries, coal mines and gas pipelines
  • uranium and this is available in abundance in the crust of the Earth
  • because most nuclear reactors have a life cycle of 40 years
  • is an extremely reliable source of power
  • this form of power is virtually inexhaustible.

Energy Resources: Nuclear power - 2 views

  • generated using Uranium
  • Produces huge amounts of energy
  • without the pollution that you'd get from burning fossil fuels.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by
  • nuclear fission: neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.
  • Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel.
