Nuclear Energy BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MANKIND
Origin of Nuclear Energy
- Enrico Fermi,1934, is considered a big part in nuclear energy
- He was the first scientist to split the atom and that led to nuclear power generation
- In 1938, two German scientists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman and physicist Lise Meitner of Austria, discovered that they could split the nucleus of a uranium atom by bombarding it with neutrons, this is called fission.
Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy
Impacts on Society
- Non-renewable
- We won't be able to use much longer
- Takes long amount of time to construct power plant
Impacts on Environment
- Waste remains radioactive for thousands of years
- radioactive waste
- Can harm natural eco-systems
