Nuclear Energy Is The Best Source Of Energy

What is the best source of energy that can be used today? Well this is a hard question to answer because there are a lot of factors to look at. It is know that nuclear energy has been around for a long period of time, and that also is one of the energy sources used today by most countries because it has the potential needed to fulfill the demand for electricity that each country require. Nuclear energy results from the reaction that takes place when the nucleus of an atom breaks down resulting in the emission of heat and radiation followed by a chain reaction. This is called nuclear fission and this process liberates a large amount of energy to generate electricity, but the process also releases radiation which is very dangerous. We all know that everything has advantage and disadvantage, know let see which are the advantage and disadvantage of using nuclear energy as a source of energy. …show more content…
Michael Burgess said “Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy”. That is one of the main reason this source of energy is used by most countries. It has the power of generating electricity that is able to meet industrial and city needs. Also is considered as one of the most environmentally friendly source of energy, as it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions during the production of electricity as compared to sources like coal power plants. Also nuclear energy has an indisputable advantage over other forms of energy, is the low cost operating the plants. This plants have saved consumers billions of dollars by saving in fuel costs and by reducing the dependence on imported oil throughout the world. The fact that nuclear energy is a stable source of energy, this means that it doesn’t depend of the weather, this mean that the sun is not needed to generate electricity like the others source of
