Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy is defined as energy produced from the splitting of atoms. A common Nuclear energy Seen today is a powerplant.  Powerplants split nuclear atoms to produce heat the heat eventually gets turned into steam the steam is used to turn the turbine which produces electricity.  This is all science.  Atoms are science, heat is science, electricity is science.

How Nuclear energy affects the environment

 Nuclear plants do not affect the environment because Nuclear power plants do not emit off harmful gases.  Nuclear energy is emission-free which means it is an energy sourch which doesn't burn anything to produce electricity.  also no gases being produced reduces the chance for global warming. Nuclear energy plants can also help preserve widlife because they are so clean and so developed.

The negatives to Nuclear Energy

Purifying uranium is not exactly a clean or safe process.  Also once the fuel is spent is is still very Radioactive and Potentially deadly if not taken care of the right way. So The negatives are obviously very dangerous.  Also Nuclear fuel is considered high Nuclear waste and must be disposed of properly.

these are the different regions of the U.s which all have some type of coal fired plant.

As you can see they are very clean and very civilized.
