Nuclear Energy by Dylan Ahadov
Hello I am a student and here is my Wikipedia page on Nuclear Energy, this is targeted at the world. '''

= Background Information =

Definition of Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is the energy that is released while or during a nuclear fission/fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

Countries that currently use Nuclear Energy

 * France
 * Belgium
 * Czech Republic
 * Finland
 * Hungary
 * Slovakia
 * Sweden
 * Switzerland
 * Slovenia
 * Ukraine

= Historical Facts =

Who discovered Nuclear Energy?

 * Otto Hahn was the very first person to discover Nuclear Energy.

Where was it discovered/First used?

 * World War 2

When was it discovered/First used?

 * The 1940's

= Generation of Electricity =

Describe how a generator works
Works on electromagnetic induction It was found that the flow of the electric charges could actually be induced by moving an electrical conductor.

Outline the process by which electricity is generated from the source
Nuclear reactor produces the energy and controls it from the atoms splitting of uranium.Uranium fueled nuclear power is a organized and very clean process of boiling water to make steam for turbine generators.

= Advantages of using Nuclear Energy =
 * Nuclear energy is very reliable because of the fact that it doesn't require traditional sources to produce it such as solar requires sun energy to provide energy.Nuclear energy can be done 24/7 because none of these factors affect it and it can only be shutdown due to maintenance but regard that you may use it whenever.
 * Nuclear Energy requires very low fuel cost such as a little amount of uranium and it will produce more than what it takes to require to work.
 * Low greenhouse emissions, research on Nuclear Energy shows that it has the lowest impact on the environment because it doesn't release any gases such as Carbon dioxide,Methane there are no effects on the water.

= Disadvantages of using Nuclear Energy =
 * Nuclear Energy may cause birth defects to children, this has happened during World War 2 when the nuclear bombs were dropped and it affected children.
 * Not all countries have Uranium and it is very scarce resource and can only be found in some countries and should be taken granted.
 * Takes a good amount of money to even think about starting up a Nuclear Energy plant, it will also take 5-10 years for the Nuclear Plant to be fully constructed and ready to use, you will also be required to get legal permission.

= Task =

Explain how an alternative energy source was founded and its uses in the world
Nuclear energy has many interesting facts and many uses even today, some being.... Nuclear energy has more pros than cons which means that it is more beneficial than bad for us, it has some great things for us that we can use advantage of but it also comes with, we should be very glad the Nuclear Energy was founded because of the many great opportunities it offers, we have to be careful on who has a great amount of it such as South Korea which could use Nuclear Bombs which can be very deadly. '''
 * The first commercial nuclear power stations started operation in the 1950's.
 * Nuclear Energy provides 11% of the earths electricity without carbon dioxide emissions.
 * There are currently 71 new nuclear plants under construction in 15 countries.
 * Hospitals worldwide use radioisotopes for medicine, the use of radio pharmaceuticals in diagnosis is growing at over 10% per year.
 * irradiation is used to preserve food from going bad and not being edible for humans.
 * Nuclear energy can be used to kill insects that ruin crops which helps the world.
