Nuclear energy

The video discusses the dangers and benefits of nuclear power. It explains how nuclear power stations use uranium to generate large amounts of energy through nuclear reactions. The process involves splitting uranium atoms to produce heat, which is used to create steam that drives turbines and generates electricity. While nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide, it produces radioactive waste that remains hazardous for thousands of years. The video also highlights the importance of safely managing nuclear waste and the ongoing debate about the safety of nuclear energy, referencing the Fukushima disaster.
