Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous. And just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesnât mean itâs clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesnât come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown.ew nuclear plants are more expensive and take longer to build than renewable energy sources like wind or solar. If we are to avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change, we need solutions that are fast and affordable. Nuclear power is neither. We can do better than trading off one disaster for another.
Radiation is everywhere. It is a form of energy. Radiation is produced when the nucleus of an atom is broken apart. Huge amounts of energy are stored in the nucleus.When it splits (called fission) it produces heat and radiation. Nuclear power plants use the heat to turn water into steam and produce electricity.hen an atom decays it can form a different isotope of the same element (i.e. it loses neutrons) or it can become a new element (i.e. it loses protons). It is important to realize that, just because atoms have experienced one decay, it does not mean that they are no longer radioactive.
