Nuclear energy is generated Nuclear energy is generated using uranium which is using uranium which is mined from various parts of mined from various parts of the world. It creates energy the world. It creates energy through nuclear fission. through nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is the Nuclear fission is the process of smashing atoms process of smashing atoms together to make steam together to make steam which turns a turbine which which turns a turbine which in turn powers a generator. in turn powers a generator. Nuclear fusion is another Nuclear fusion is another theory to make energy from theory to make energy from uranium.uranium.

The advantages of The advantages of nuclear energy are:nuclear energy are:

It is cheapIt is cheap

It doesn’t produce It doesn’t produce pollutionpollution

Lots of energy Lots of energy created from small created from small pieces of uranium.pieces of uranium.

It is reliableIt is reliable

The disadvantages of The disadvantages of nuclear energy are:nuclear energy are:

The waste is very The waste is very dangerous , it must be dangerous , it must be buried.buried.

Safety costs a lot of Safety costs a lot of money.money.

• Nuclear power, is Nuclear power, is superior to fossil superior to fossil fuels because it fuels because it doesn’t give out doesn’t give out greenhouse greenhouse gasses. One gasses. One small piece of small piece of uranium gives uranium gives out heaps of out heaps of energy.more energy.more than an average than an average wind farm would wind farm would produce in a produce in a year!year!

We think nuclear energy is superior to fossil We think nuclear energy is superior to fossil fuels. It will provide energy for a long time as fuels. It will provide energy for a long time as

it will deplete very slowly. It is cheap and it will deplete very slowly. It is cheap and reliable. This is why we think it is an excellent reliable. This is why we think it is an excellent
