Nuclear Energy
nuclear bombs nuclear fission was first used in 1945 in electricity, people were veryhopeful that nuclear power would solve most of our energy problems.

Extractions: A source of energy which is not a fossil fuel but is also found underground is uranium. Uranium is mined and taken to nuclear power plants where its tiny atoms are split apart. This process, called nuclear fission, releases heat which is used to boil water to make steam. Just as in so many fossil fuel plants, the steam turns a turbine to produce electricity.
Islam Online- News Section
nuclear reactors work on the principle of nuclear fission. During nuclear fission,the nuclei of atoms are split which leads to the release of heat energy.

By Aisha El-Awady A satellite image of North Koreas Yongbyon nuclear facility There has been much talk recently regarding the possession or commission of nuclear reactors by certain countries. The reactivation of North Koreas nuclear reactor at Yongbyon has been causing a great deal of apprehension lately. The commission of Irans first nuclear reactor is continuing despite steady criticism by the United States. Nuclear bomb There are two types of nuclear reactors: research reactors and power reactors. Research reactors are used for scientific research, and for the production of isotopes for medicinal and industrial purposes. These types of reactors are not used for energy production. There are 284 research reactors found in 56 countries around the world. Power

Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. But first, the energy must be released from atoms. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, energy is released when atoms are split apart. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity. The fuel most widely used in nuclear plants is uranium. Uranium is a common metal found in rocks all over the world. Nuclear plants use uranium as a fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. During nuclear fission, a small particle called a neutron hits the uranium atom and it splits, releasing a great amount of energy in the form of heat, radiation, and more neutrons. These neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over again. This is called a nuclear chain reaction. The chain reaction takes place inside of the reactor of a nuclear power plant. The heat generated when the uranium atoms are split is used to boil water and turn it into steam. The steam is then blasted against huge turbine blades. As they turn, they drive generators that make electricity.

Extractions: Environmental harmonization of nuclear energy technology is considered as an absolutely necessary condition in its future successful development for peaceful uses. Establishment of self-consistent nuclear energy system that simultaneously meets. four requirements - energy production, fuel production, burning of radionuclides and safety strongly relies on neutron excess generation. Implementation of external non fission based neutron sources into fission energy system can facilitate to approach self-consistency. Neutron excess generation by external neutron sources based on accelerator and fusion technologies would open the possibility of approaching the self consistent nuclear energy system, with unlimited fuel resources and zero radioactivity release... M. Saito V. Artisyuk and A.Chmelev explain SCNES. 1. Introduction It is broadly recognized that existing nuclear reactors represent the first stage of nuclear energy development. Along with demonstrating the possibility to utilize nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, it brought in public worries about nuclear safety and long-term consequences of nuclear energy recovery. The last is mainly related to the long-lived fission products (FP) and minor actinides (MA) since their safe isolation from the environment requires hundred thousand years. The new era which we are entering now, places the stress on the principle possibility of approaching the wasteless self-consistent nuclear energy system (SCNES) that simultaneously satisfies four objectives [1]:
