Nuclear Energy- A Boon and Curse for Humans

Nuclear Power Plant

Nuclear plants can produce a large amount of electricity, up to about 2GW, which is comparable to coal plants. More importantly, however, is the amount of fuel required to generate this energy.At the atomic level, the thermal energy released in a fission event is 200MeV, compared with only a few electron-volts produced each time a hydrocarbon molecule is broken down by burning carbon-based fuels. As a result, a single nuclear-reactor fuel pellet just 1cm long can produce the same amount of electricity of 1.5 tonnes of coal.
