ZERO EMISSION ATOMIC ENERGY: The Future of Energy Generation & Storage Series
ZERO EMISSION ATOMIC ENERGY Haven’t we all thought of an ideal form of energy to run the world; one which would be clean & also more efficient? There exists such a source of energy: the zero-emission energy – Atomic energy. TARAPUR ATOMIC POWER STATION Atomic energy is a clean energy source with high reliability and high energy density. It has one of the smallest carbon footprints and may be our answer to positively impacting climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Some experts take a step forward to even say that it is a contestant as one of our answers for the energy gap. But what exactly is atomic energy, the one solution to all our problems? Atomic energy or nuclear energy is the energy that is released in significant amount through the processes that affect the atomic nuclei, the dense cores of the atom housing protons and neutrons. The two ways to release this energy are nuclear fission: where one larger atomic nucleus splits into two smaller atomi...
