Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the splitting of Uranium atoms (fission) to create energy It can be changed into energy because it is storable, which means it can be controlled to be put into the right use. Kayla Struwig 7P

Advantages Nuclear energy is easily accessible A big amount of energy can be produced from a small amount of atoms It can be controlled Kayla Struwig 7P

Disadvantages Uranium is non-renewable It gives off radiation and is can be harmful to humans It is expensive Can be very dangerous Kayla Struwig 7P

Energy Crisis This energy source would be good to use, until it runs out. If we do not protect ourselves in the necessary way, and make it less dangerous, it could be deadly. The energy crisis, is that we are reliant on one source of energy, and it’s the non-renewable source we are using. To solve this problem, we must use more then one energy source in different areas of the world. Kayla Struwig 7P
