    reusable, and nuclear energy is safe. Nuclear energy provides great amounts of energy with very little amounts of nuclear material. In the documentary “Pandora’s Promise” Leonard Koch(died on the fifteenth of may in 2015) said that “one pound of uranium, which is about the size of my fingertip, would produce the same amount of energy as five thousand barrels of oil.” Now in one forty-two gallon barrel of oil there is five point eight million btu(british thermal units), one btu would raise a pot…

    Nuclear energy, or power, is the process by which nuclear processes beneath the earth 's surface are utilized in such a way that they safely produce heat and electricity at a relatively cheap cost. Nuclear energy has made tremendous strides in the recent years but has faced opposition from innumerable sources which have effectively stunted the growth of this form of energy. Events such as the Chernobyl disaster have given nuclear power a bad reputation but have also forced a pursuit of safer…
