Question

With the declining amount of fossil fuel energy reserves in the world and climate change concerns from burning of fossil fuels, nuclear energy is becoming a very attractive alternative energy option. In fact, we have the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant just about 30 minutes minutes away from Bronx Community College just up the Sprain Brook Pkwy. Write a 3 paragraph discussion on whether "Nuclear energy is the best tool to fight against climate change?" Make sure to include the following points in your three paragraph discussion How nuclear energy is created 2. - The benefits of nuclear energy 3. - The disadvantages of nuclear energy Yo

Explanation / Answer

- Nuclear energy is produced either by dissociation of large nucleus into small nuclei or by the association of small nuclei to form large nucleus , energy is released in large amount in both the processes .

The dissociation is called nuclear fission and association is called nuclear fusion .

- the nuclear energy is a renewable source of energy and large amount of energy is produced .

- nuclear energy can be lethal as it is very hard to control the nuclear process and as large amount of energy is produced so to control this much amount of energy needs so much control .Nuclear energy can destroy to large extent.
