1. One uranium pellet (the fuel used in nuclear power plants) can produce the amount of power equivalent to 1 ton of coal, 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 149 gallons of oil, or 5,000 pounds of wood.
2. Nuclear energy is not disturbed by weather conditions. If a tornado hits the nuclear power plant, it will not break down. It is designed that way for safety.
3. Nuclear energy, when used in power plants, produces less greenhouse gases than coal, fuel, and gas. The smoke you see is actually steam.
4.Nuclear power plants produce electricity at 2.14 cents per kilowatt. This is significantly lower cost than using fossil fuels.
5. Nuclear radiation can be used in certain ways in medical conditions. They can treat special conditions people might have, and find where bad cells are in your body.
