1. Nuclear Fission
By
Johnathin Bailey
Addison Broider

2. What is Nuclear Fission
● Splits nuclei
● Needs to be controlled
● Is very hazardous
● Produces lots of energy
● Right technology = Electricity

3. Is It Renewable?
● There isn't an
unlimited supply, but
most of the Uranium
on Earth has not be
tapped yet. Therefore
it can be called
renewable.
It is and isn't

4. What are the Pros?
● Nuclear Fission produces tons of energy.
● Is available in large amounts.
● Is much more environmentally friendly than
fossil fuels.
● It's very cost efficient.
● Not much is needed to produce energy.

5. What about the cons?
● Using nuclear power gives countries the ability
to have the materials for nuclear warheads.
● Produces hazardous waste.
● Makes up only 8% of our power.
● Is prone to terrorist attacks.
● Cost to much to really meet all our growing
needs.
● VERY DANGEROUS!

6. How much do we pay?
To make the energy – 1.68 cents per kilowatt-hour.
The public pays about 0.4 Euro per kilowatt per hour
for the electricity.
This converts to 0.55 cents per kilowatt per hour.

7. How much does it cost to build?
● Of just one – 3 to 5 billion dollars.
● To replace the United States coal plants – 1.2
to 2 billion dollars.
Lots
Remember, where
in a recession.

8. What the closest plant to us?
● The Plant in Seabrook,
called Seabrook
Station.

9. What is the contribution to global
warming?
● Stops global warming
● No use of fossil fuels
Global
warming

10. Is it easy for me to get this energy?
● For us in New Hampshire it is.
● All depends on location.
● Ex.-Australia would have a harder time.
This question is hard to answer as it varies on whether your near a
nuclear plant

11. How does a nuclear reactor work?
