Radiation
2
Radioactive Decay Radioactive decay is the process of watch a unstable atom losses energy all of a sudden by letting out “radiation” The lost of energy results in a single atom of one type called the parent nuclide Radioactive decay happens when there is to many neutrons or to many protons
3
Half-life Half-life is the period of time of a atom going through decay to decrease by half of it’s original amount
4
Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is created by the splitting or combining of atom’s nuclei The nuclear energy creates only 20% of the U.S.’s electrical energy It is done in nuclear reactors that are underwater and heat up the water and we turn the heated water in to electricity
5
Nuclear Waste Nuclear waste is being stored in tanks or concert and steel bunkers at sites that are meant to contain the waste for decades, not centuries
6
Nuclear Energy vs. Nuclear Bomb
Nuclear energy is created in a reactor in a continues and controlled way It produces heat and we collect the heat to turn it into energy Bomb Designed to release nuclear energy all at once creating a huge explosion and heat wave destroying almost everything
