How Do YOU Use Electricity?

How is most Electricity Made? Steam produced SteamTurbine Generator Heat Its where the heat comes from that changes…

How Nuclear Power is Made Hi! My name is Roddy Nuclear, and I am a Uranium Fuel Pellet. I am used to make electricity at nuclear power plants!

Fuel Equivalents 3 Barrels of Oil 3 Barrels of Oil 5,000 lbs. of Wood 5,000 lbs. of Wood 1 Uranium Fuel Pellet 1 Uranium Fuel Pellet 2,000 lbs. of Coal 2,000 lbs. of Coal 17,000 ft 3 Natural Gas

Nuclear Fission When an atom (such as Uranium) is hit by a neutron, it becomes unstable and splits. This is called NUCLEAR FISSION. The atom splits in two, and releases neutrons and energy. Nuclear reactors use this energy as the heat source needed to make electricity.

15 th Annual NAYGN Drawing Contest Winners will be chosen online! Cast your Drawings will be showcased at the 2013 ANS Meeting in Washington, DC November 10 – 14, 2013! North American Young Generation in Nuclear Contestants are aware that the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NA-YGN) is a non-for-profit organization, one of whose goals is to communicate the public about the many ways in which nuclear science and technology have a positive impact in their daily lives and make important and valuable contributions to our society. By participating in the contest, contestants grant the North American Young Generation in Nuclear the right to print, publish, broadcast and use worldwide in any media now known or hereafter developed, including, without limitation, the World Wide Web, at any time or times, the drawing and the contestants name, as news or for public information and education on the benefits of the peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology without additional consideration or compensation. The drawing becomes the property of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear and will not be returned.
