“As a zero-carbon energy source, nuclear power must be part of our energy mix as we work toward energy independence and meeting the challenge of global warming.”
— Nobel physicist Steven Chu, U.S. Secretary of Energy - May 6, 2009

Safe Nuclear Energy

“Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire.”  —Albert Einstein  Clean water vapor rises from the cooling towers. The nuclear reactors are inside thecontainment buildings next to the towers.

Although Nuclear Fusion is not available at this time, nuclear energy from Nuclear Fission is available today. The Energy Quest web site gives an illustrated explanation of the difference between Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission for anyone who needs clarification.

Nuclear Fission creates no air pollution, but it does create a small amount of radioactive by-products. Opponents of nuclear energy believe a nuclear power plant accident would cause toxic radioactive nuclear material to be released into the environment. Fear of exposure toNuclear Radiation has created public opposition to nuclear energy
