Nuclear energy presents many potential benefits and drawbacks. On one hand, it can be used to produce enormous amounts of electricity. On the other hand, it an emergency electrical repair service has to keep a close eye on it at all times to prevent a meltdown. In this video, you will learn about how nuclear energy works.
Nuclear energy is expensive and complicated. This is why many companies have still yet to adopt its use. Nuclear energy only accounts for 10% of all electricity usage. However, there is a type of reactor that is simple and cheap. This reactor is know as the light water reactor and it is the most common reactor. It involves heating up water using an artificial chain reaction. Then, nuclear fission is used to create energy. This involves heavy unstable elements such as uranium, getting bombarded with neutrons that are absorbed by the element. It then spits out radiation that heats the water and more neutrons that continue the chain reaction. Water is used to moderate this reaction. This heated water is also what turns the turbines to generate electricity.
