The United States is the worlds largest producer of nuclear power‚ accounting for more than 30 percent of the worldwide nuclear generation of electricity. Nuclear power is also among the verge of the most expensive‚ construction on a new power plant in Georgia skyrocketed past the projected expenses by $737 million to nearly $7 billion. In 2012 the approval of the new power plants in Georgia and South Carolina were among the first approved in over 30 years. While these approvals were a major setback

The chemical reaction that creates nuclear power is known as nuclear fission. When uranium is blasted with fast-moving atoms known as neutrinos‚ they become unstable and split‚ releasing more fast-moving neutrinos and energy in the form of radiation (Redd). When nuclear fission occurs‚ there are byproducts of the fuel known as fission products. Fission products are highly radioactive and will be such

If you chose to not have nuclear plants‚ then eventually all natural resources will run out. The oil supply will run out relatively soon‚ and all other sources will run out too. The natural resources that we have now are still harmful to the earth however. The gas which we use for our cars pollutes
