Description
Summary:Nuclear energy is the cleanest source of energy, and also important for numerous other reasons. Nuclear power has the potential to be employed for weapon production, such as the [ldquor]Atom Bomb' whose destructive power was demonstrated in Japan and which wiped out two cities in seconds. However, its positive utility is also serving humanity in many ways, such as in the medical, agricultural and industrial fields, and most importantly in the generation of electricity through nuclear power plants. Energy resources are vital for any country, and in this regard, nuclear electricity generation is one of the best ways to strengthen a country's energy security by diversifying its resources and increasing energy supply options.1
