Understanding Nuclear Power

by Fiona Reynoldson

Book Overview

Nuclear power is energy produced from nuclear reactions created in large power plants. Some people praise nuclear power as a clean and efficient alternative to fossil fuels, while others point to the nuclear waste left behind and cite it as a destructive element. This book looks at both sides of the nuclear power debate, while showing readers how exactly nuclear power is produced through diagrams and helpful descriptions.
