Nuclear energy is an alternattive resourse that comes from, the nucleaus of an atom. Nuclear energy can be verry dangerous to get, because if nuclear energy is not controllled it can be very destructive.

Nuclear energy is very hard to make. First workers brake down an atom till they reach the nucleus of the atom. Then massive amounts of heat are reslesed.The heat will make a huge tub of water very hot untill massave amounts of steam is realeased.When this happends the steam powers generators in the power plants. The tubines produce electricity to power homes and other recreational items. external image nuclear+power+plants.GIF


There are many advantegese of using nuclear energy instead of fossle fuels. One advange of using nuclear energy instead of fossile fuels is, an atom is very, very, tiny, but they produce alot of energy. You need alot more fossle fules to make that much energy. Fossile fuels put alot of toxins in the air. Nuclear enery does not.



there is very few disadvantages to using nuclear energy. But, there is some. For exemple,nuclear energy is so powerful that sometimes it is too powerfull, thus creating an atom bom!well, not a real atom bom but a big enough explosoin that someone could mistake it for a atom bom. (atom boms are made out of nuclear energy too)
