Power To The People - Is Nuclear Energy Safe?
Nuclear power is commonly associated with negative perceptions, magnified by the atomic bomb and power plant accidents. The story of nuclear power begins with uranium, a natural element found on Earth's crust. It's a crucial mineral that produces heat through a process known as fission. Inside a nuclear reactor, the heat is tapped and used to turn a generator that produces electricity. As nuclear technology advances, its use expands to medical, space, and other industries.
