 Introduction
• Nuclear energy is a rare form of energy. It is the
energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. After we
bombard the nucleus into two parts, two
different elements are formed along with the
emission of high energy. The process generally
followed is called fission. There is another
reaction called fusion, which produces almost
one tenth of the energy as produced during
fission. Fission is the chain reaction which needs
uranium-235. The nuclear energy is considered as
the worthiest alternative source of energy after
fossil fuels.
• Nuclear fission is the
process of splitting a
nucleus into nuclei with
smaller masses.
• Fission means “to
divide”.
• Remember that fission
has 2 s’s, therefore it
splits into TWO parts.
• Nuclear fusion is the
combining of two nuclei
with low masses to
form one nucleus of
larger mass.
• Nuclear fusion reactions
are also called
thermonuclear
reactions.
• The generation of electricity through
nuclear energy reduces the amount
of energy generated from fossil fuels
(coal and oils), los use of fossil fuels
means lowering greenhouse gas
emissions.
• Another advantages is the required
amount of fuel. Less fuel offers more
energy. It represents a significant
save on raw materials but also in a
transport handling and extraction of
nuclear fuel. The cost of nuclear fuel
cover all uranium) is 20% of the cost
of energy generated production of
electrical energy is continuous. A
nuclear power plant is generated
electrical energy for almost 90% of
annual time.
• One of the main disadvantages is the difficult in
the management of nuclear waste. It takes many
years to eliminate its radioactivity and risks
• Nuclear power have a limited life the investment
for the construction of a nuclear power plant is
very high and must be recovered as soon as
possible so it raises the cost of electricity
generated. In other words the energy generated
is cheap compared to the cost of fuel. But the
recovery of its construction is much more
expensive.
• Terrorist use it to effect the world.
Although nuclear technology is mainly used for
the production of electricity in nuclear power
plants, this is not the only utility that can be
given.
This type of energy appears in many others
aspects of our everyday life and in science.
If you work with different isotopes of the same
element, it’s possible to use nuclear technology
for other applications in different fields:
• Every third patient who visit a hospital in an
any type nuclear medicine procedure.
Radiopharmaceuticals, and radiation therapy
techniques for the treatment of malignant
tumours, teletherapy for cancer treatment or
radiation biology to sterilize medical products
are used.
• The applications of isotopes in agriculture has
led to increased agriculture production in less
countries.
• Nuclear technology is useful in controlling
insects pest, the best use of water resources,
improved crop varieties or in the
establishment of the conditions to optimize
the of efficiency of fertilizers and water.
