2.4 Nuclear Power Plants
ОглавлениеEver since nuclear power came into existence, it has led to various debates on disposal of its wastes and the detrimental effect of such wastes to the mankind. But, many of the nuclear power’s advantages are behind closed doors. It has emerged as one of those power-producing methods that produce considerably less amount of greenhouse gases. Enrico Fermi and his team were the people behind today’s nuclear power plants. Atoms have loads of energy in them. They only need to be explored by either fission or fusion. Nuclear power plants involve nuclear reactors that contain and control nuclear chain reactions. They also have fuel rods to feed reactors and moderators, control rods, coolants, etc., hope that showed a spotlight on nuclear power [8].
