Abstract:
Nuclear power is a source of energy that is clean and efficient, but it is controversial because of the toxic waste it leaves behind. It can be harnessed to create electricity to fuel homes, offices, and schools, and can be used to power vehicles. In Understanding Nuclear Power, readers will discover what takes place inside a nuclear reactor and what happens to nuclear waste.
