By using nuclear energy, we can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, which we use daily in our normal lives. It in turns slows down global warming, because the usage of fossil fuels are one of the main factors. This is because nuclear reactions do not consume oxygen or produce carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
It can also dependably produce power for many areas, which other technologies cannot. Radioactive by- products from nuclear reactors are useful to medicine and industry. Nuclear reactions result in the decay of heavy, unstable elements into lighter, more stable elements. Some of the byproducts of radioactive decay are themselves useful. For example, plutonium decays into americium, a metal used in small amounts in smoke detectors. Radioactive molybdenum decays into technetium, used in medical diagnosis. Radioactive byproducts also see use in industrial processes and scientific research.
Therefore, nuclear energy still has an important role to play in our world.
