Nuclear Power

Nuclear energy cannot be contained nor controlled.

Nuclear energy is contained in nuclear bonds.

Nuclear energy is less efficient than other energy forms.

All of the above are true.

It is used directly to heat homes and offices.

It generates steam, which turns a turbine, powering a generator.

It generates steam, which is then condensed back to water. This process produces energy.

All of the above

cooling of the power plant

mining of uranium

storage of radioactive waste

monitoring the reactor

Nuclear energy uses nonrenewable resources.

Nuclear energy produces little air pollution.

Uranium ore used for nuclear power plants must be mined and processed.

Nuclear energy has no environmental impact.

It is used to turn water into steam.

It is used to heat local buildings.

It is a waste product and is not used.

It is used to power nuclear fusion reactions.
