Nuclear Fuel Usages and Dangers
Nuclear energy and the fuel it provides is going to affect the future in many ways. One way is that our own Navy is starting to use nuclear energy as fuel for their boats. The problem with that is if something goes wrong and the nuclear energy explodes, it could destroy the entire boat. Also, the nuclear waste could leak out and kill everyone on the ship. The nuclear waste could also leak into the ocean impacting the fish. Next, nuclear energy isn’ t just helping our Navy, but it is also helping other branches of our military. When war becomes so intense, people must take drastic measures. This is when people begin bombing each other. What do they use? Atomic bombs. What are they made of? Nuclear energy. They are very effective in ending wars, it only took two atomic bombs to end World War II. Finally, nuclear fuel produces heat that can be used for steam, which has many benefits. With nuclear energy, the nucleus creates large amounts of heat, which then creates steam. This steam can be used to power machines that generate electrical power. With the help of nuclear energy, more things can be powered by steam.
