Nuclear Energy

The way they use nuclear energy to make electricity is they use uranium fuel , consisting of solid ceramic pellets , to produce electricity through a process called fission.

Uses of Nuclear Energy

1.Can Manufacturers 2.Aircraft Manufacturers 3.Automobile Industry 4.Pipeline Companies 5.Mining and Petroleum Companies

Pros and Cons

Pros:1.It produces few dangerous wastes.2.The waste is stored in fire , water , and earthquake proof capsules to ensure safety.3.The amount of waste produced each year would cover only your dining room table.
