2 Since all it gives off is steam there is no air pollution. Nuclear power plants produce a big amount of energy to supply to cities. PROS: Nuclear power also is good because it is inexpensive. http://go.galegroup.com/ps/retrieve.do?sgHitCountType=None&sort=Relevance&inPS=true&prodId=GVRL.hsdenergysources&user GroupName=land18748&tabID=T003&searchId=R1&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&contentSegment=&searchType=BasicSearchForm& currentPosition=2&contentSet=GALE|CX3451200022&&docId=GALE|CX3451200022&docType=GALE

3 Cons: 1. A safe way to dispose of Uranium. 2. There is always that risk of a major accident. It would take a lot of money to repair, and the human casualties are uncertain. 3. It is expensive for the nuclear waste. image from http://go.galegroup.com/ps/retrieve.do?sgHitCountType=None&sort=Relevance&inPS=t rue&prodId=GVRL.hsdenergysources&userGroupName=land18748&tabID=T003&searchId=R1&r esultListType=RESULT_LIST&contentSegment=&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition= 2&contentSet=GALE|CX3451200022&&docId=GALE|CX3451200022&docType=GALE

4 Source of Energy It is released from the nucleus of an atom. It happens either by Fission (spliting the atom apart) or Fusion (combining two atoms to form a larger atom). The fuel most commonly used is Uranium. http://www.eia.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=nuclear_home -basics

5 Nuclear fission boils the water that it is in to create steam that turns a turbine to create energy.

6 Other Nuclear Power information: Three Mile Island (TMI) is the closest power plant near us. The plant is located on the Susquehanna river. In 1935 President Dwight D. Eisenhower holds a speech called "Atoms of Peace". In his speech he talked about Nuclear atoms should be used for peaceful uses and not harmful uses. Nuclear power gives off no emissions.
