      This site shows how after the Japan disaster the safe zone from the plant is about 20 miles. So, 25 would probably be safe.

      This is some good insight on why Nuclear Energy may be a good way to go.

    This gives a great perspective on fossil fuel powered factories. It also gives a great deal of information on how nuclear energy effects the enviornment

  • As its name implies, radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously. This is done by an atomic nucleus that, for some reason, is unstable; it "wants" to give up some energy in order to shift to a more stable configuration.

  • 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.

    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."
