  4. How Nuclear Power is Made Hi! My name is Roddy Nuclear, and I am a Uranium Fuel Pellet. I am used to make electricity at nuclear power plants!

  5. Fuel Equivalents 2,000lbs. of Coal 3 Barrels of Oil 1 Uranium Fuel Pellet 17,000 ft3 Natural Gas 5,000 lbs. of Wood

  6. Nuclear Fission When an atom (such as Uranium) is hit by a neutron, it becomes unstable and splits. This is called NUCLEAR FISSION. The atom splits in two, and releases neutrons and energy. Nuclear reactors use this energy as the heat source needed to make electricity.

  7. Quick Facts about Nuclear Energy

  8. Nuclear Power in Your Backyard • There are 434 nuclear power plants in operation worldwide. • 31 countries have nuclear power plants. • 100 of these plants are in the United States– 7 new plants under construction! • 17 plants in Canada, 2 in Mexico • What plants are close to where you live?

  9. Clean Safe Reliable A stable energy supply for the future Nuclear Power is…
