| Nuclear Energy |
|
| Nuclear energy is the energy released when certain changes take place in the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear energy is partly renewable and partly non-renewable source of energy. |
| |
| Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are
the two types of reactions that release nuclear energy: |
| |
| a) Nuclear fusion - is renewable because hydrogen needed for this process is available in plenty in nature. |
| |
| b) Nuclear fission - is non-renewable
because uranium needed for this process is radioactive and has only limited
existence. |
