  2. INFORMATION • Energy is released when an atom splits apart and its called fission or when two small atoms combine to form a larger atom it's called fusion • It is non-renewable and it's kind is nuclear energy • We planned to put our nuclear energy plant in an island called Guasmo that has the necessarily space for doing our project • It also meets all the requirements we planted for building it • We needed 400 square meters and to be near water and that island has the space for doing that

  3. Nuclear energy was discovered in the1800’s. • Radiation was discovered by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1895 by making lots of x-rays by passing an electric current through a glass • Nuclear scientists manipulated this energy and started using them in nuclear reactors in 1951 History

  4. NUCLEAR ENERGY NOWADAYS • 430 nuclear reactors in 31 countries • The USA is the country that has the most nuclear energy plants nowadays • It is used mainly for electricity

  5. FOUND IN... • You can find nuclear energy were ever there are atoms and matter • It is recovered by using fission on uranium • It is harnessed by fusion in uranium

  6. STORING.. • Nuclear energy cannot be stored its a kind of energy that it has to be used when it is made • There are two ways to release nuclear energy • One is by fission by putting apart two atoms from a big one • And by fusion that is unifying two atoms for making a bigger one

  7. ADVANTAGES • That there are almost no greenhouse emissions • They can be placed almost everywhere • Not many problems with the plants • Small amounts of matter makes lots of energy • Lots of energy from a single power plant

  8. DISADVANTAGES • Radiation is very poisonous • Lots of nuclear wastes • If there's natural disasters and the plant gets affected the people that live near will be affected by radiation

  9. ECONOMIC WAY • It will cost to the government around 6 billion dollars • It will have to be financed with an international debt to pay a part • Taxes will have to increase so that the government has the money to do this big project

  10. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • In construction we will face deforestation • Construction causes pollution • Because it needs to be made near a body of water it's wastes will contaminate the water • Nuclear wastes take thousands of years to disappear

  11. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • A problem may appear • Radiation may contaminate all the things surrounding the plant if there's a problem • Radiation may harm all living things

  12. FUTURE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY • According to scientists nuclear energy has lots of years for being useful • It is non renewable but it will stay here for centuries • It will be one of the biggest energy sources in the majority of the countries in the world

  13. FACTS • "In 2004, nuclear powerprovided 6.5% of theworld'senergy and 15.7% of theworld'selectricity, withthe U.S., France, and Japantogetheraccountingfor 57% of nuclear generatedelectricity. " • " Nuclear powerplantsneedless fuel thanoneswhichburnfossilfuels. One ton of uranium produces more energythanisproducedbyseveralmilliontons of coalorseveralmillionbarrels of oil" • "Nuclear poweristheonlyenergyindustrywhichtakes full responsibilityforallitswastes, and coststhisintotheproduct."
