It is made by the reactors.the two reactors are the pressurized-water reactors and boiling-water reactors. It is equal for one pound of uranium to release as much energy as 3,000 tons of coal or 9,000 tons of TNT. It does not pollute the air, but it can harm people if they get a lot of radiation in the air.

For the video we saw how nuclear energy can harmful to the environment. It can be very dangerous for the people because of the radiation. In the video we learn that Russia used to be a nuclear empire, but became a nuclear disaster. Only 71 of the 190 suds were taken out of service since the collapse had their nuclear cores removed. Reparing has been slow because of limited funding. Only 3000 kilometers away from Siberia in Moscow there was a chemical combine and became a storage unit for radioactive material. Then similar reactors in chelyabinsk polluted and became the most polluted place. Lastley the conducted tests near the village and came up with a measure of 3100 becequerels per meter. Sadly overall 239 were taken so that is why I do not think nuclear energy is a safe energy source to use for energy because many things can go wrong.

Summary
Nuclear energy is a powerful energy source. Even though scientist are trying to increase the use of nuclear energy, it only provides 10.3% of the Texas's energy. It is also very dangerous, as it can cause meltdowns and the release of radiation. It's one of the cleanest energy sources in the world. Nuclear energy can harm people if it is leaked out of the plant.It dosent cause pollution unless it leaks. Overall our group decided that nuclear energy is either completly safe or kind of safe to use.
