-Uranium lasts for a very long time
-Low levels of carbon dioxide
-Reliability (70-80 years)
-Nuclear power plants last for around 50 years.]]> 2019-06-21 15:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368659327 Step 1 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660499 Mine the uranium. ]]> 2019-06-21 15:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660499 Step 2 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660515 Bring the uranium to the mineral plant]]> 2019-06-21 15:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660515 Step 3 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660527 Put the uranium in  the reactor ]]> 2019-06-21 15:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660527 Step 4 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660548 The reactor breaks down the uranium in to a liquid matter ]]> 2019-06-21 15:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660548 Step 5 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660558 Then the reactor turns the liquid into steam]]> 2019-06-21 15:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660558 tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660739 -Cost is extremely high to make the nuclear plant and purchase a reactor
-Bringing the uranium from the mine to the plant is hard on the environment
-Uranium mining can cause blood cancer]]> 2019-06-21 15:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/368660739 The background in this Padlet shows a canyon where uranium could be mined. tcq705980 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/369113002 2019-06-25 13:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/369113002 Which then powers things like wzi725764 https://padlet.com/wzi725764/gtdnb9i9lfbk/wish/369113516 -Heat
