The Future of

Nuclear Power

As our supply of fossil fuels slowly decrease, scientists are finding new ways to make energy that will create power more efficiently.
As nuclear weapons become more powerful, more countries will also want nuclear power plants to power their country. Hydro, solar, geothermal, wind and nuclear power are all being researched and tested.
However, nuclear energy is the best and will be one of the future's main sources of energy.
Future technologies will design power plants that will maximize the safety so they will not melt down.
Alternative methods of disposing of nuclear waste are being proposed like disposal in space, ocean floors or mountains.
Nuclear fusion is still being developed but a small amount of fuel the size of a small ball bearing can produce as much energy as a barrel of gasoline.
Currently power plants all use nuclear fission whereas the sun uses nuclear fusion.
So far fusion on Earth has not been a success and all attempts at fusion have consumed more energy than they have produced.
