Nuclear energy is made from the splitting of uranium atoms is called fission. At the power plants, the fission is used to generate heat for producing steam, which is used by a turbine to generate electricity. We get nuclear energy from Nuclear Power Plants, which are all around the world. In nuclear energy it has many uses but it has it's drawbacks.

Firstly, nuclear energy has been used to create electricity in places around the world through NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.

In addition, 0.5kg of uranium can make the same energy as 3000 tonnes of coal without using green house gasses

Also the energy is produced by Uranium which is used to power submarines and other navel vessels.

However, Nuclear Power is harmful to humans, animals and plants that can bring ill effects that could last for a lifetime or even generations. Excessive radiation results in fatigue, nausea, loss of teeth,loss of hair and the damage to the blood of humans.

Moreover, Nuclear power is designed and operated with an emphasis on safety. Nevertheless accidents at these plants are possible.

Finnaly e difficult problem with Nuclear is how to dispose nuclear waste so that it does not spread into the enviorment.

In conclusion, it's my personal opinion that nuclear power should not be used as a sustainable energy source. What's your opinion?
