**The offical Guide To:** **Nuclear Energy**

Nuclear is a non-sustainable energy.It is a fossil fuel.It produces no greenhouse gasses or carbon dioxide.

In 2009 around 13 to 14% of the worlds electricity was produced by nuclear power. Henri Becquerel was the first to discover radioactivity he did it by putting a piece of uranium in his pocket and hi hand got burnt by the radioactivity. The good points of nuclear is that it needs twenty eight tons of fuel a year to run a nuclear power plant,where else a coal mine needs 2000 tons a week to run it. Uranium is 99.3% U-238,this material is the material we don't want because it absorbs the neutrons. Uranium also contains 0.7% of U-235 which is what we want because it is un-stable and splits apart to create energy. It releases fissile which starts a chain reaction. The bad points of nuclear energy is that it is a fossil fuel. It is likely to run out in about fifty years. Uranium is a hard type of of rock to make nuclear power work. Australia,Canada,Kazakhsten and Niger are rich with Uranium. Nuclear power doesn't blow up like nuclear weapons. In the future machines of all kind (on the water, on the road or in the air) may run on nuclear power. Uranium was found in 1789. There are 900 types of atoms. It will take two exploding AMI stadiums full of dynamite to equal the energy released by U-235 the size of a baseball. Atoms help nuclear work by making a chain-reaction. A chain-reaction is when a neutron hits a nucleus and splits apart releasing more neutrons that hit more nucleus,it happens again and again. The process of the chain-reaction takes minus nine seconds. New Zealand is nuclear free because the Prime minister thought it was too dangerous.

A chain-reaction takes less than minus nine seconds. Inside uranium is U-238 AND U-235. U-235 is what we want. U328 is what we don't want. Nuclear Power produces no greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide.

How Nuclear power Works What you need: Atoms Uranium Nuclear power plant Box Scientists

Step 1. Heat up the box with uranium. Step 2. Leave a neutron to hit a nucleus. Step 3. Nucleus explodes releasing more neutrons free to hit more nucleus. Step 4. This process happens again and again. Step 5. The box gets really hot and makes steam. Step 6. The steam turns turbines which makes the generator create electricity TERM4 goals my goal is I want to learn 5 habits of the mind by the end of week 8 __my goal is to get a reading age of 8 by the end of week 8.__ my goal is I want to get a math stage of 7 by the end of week 8. __I want to get a spelling age of 7.10 by the end of week 8.__
