Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction where an atom splits, releasing energy. ]]> 2016-07-10 18:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163649 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163684 2016-07-10 18:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163684 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163692 2016-07-10 18:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163692 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163716 Information:

Uranium is a non-renewable resource that is found through that process of mining. Whats awesome is that nuclear power plants only need a little amount of fuel to create a large amount of electricity. ]]> 2016-07-10 18:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116163906 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164063 The waste created by nuclear power plants are very dangerous. The radioactive waste has to be specially disposed of because it is so dangerous. ]]> 2016-07-10 18:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164063 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164094 Nuclear energy doesn't emit any air pollution. Nuclear energy can generate a lot of energy at a low cost. It is also very powerful, efficient, and reliable. Also, nuclear energy emits a very low amount of greenhouse gases.]]> 2016-07-10 18:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164094 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164192 Nuclear energy generates around 20% of United States electricity. ]]> 2016-07-10 18:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164192 merriley12 https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164225 Every eighteen to twenty four month, the nuclear power plants shuts down so they can remove the radioactive waste.]]> 2016-07-10 18:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/merriley12/kvs6mcz04bmy/wish/116164225
