Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy

It is a tragedy that the first use of atomic energy was made the world through its two bombs which wiped off two Japanese cities during the last World war. Atomic energy is a very potential identified energy which mankind can use either for constructive or destructive purposes. Atomic energy is based on the scientific disciple of the explosion of the atom which is the smallest particle a metal into nuclei. The nuclei can be further split into neutrons and protons. The protons are positively charged particles while the electrons are negatively charged. The splitting of an atom releases unending source of energy which can be employed for various proposes.

The uses of atomic energy.

It was only after the Second World War the scientists started experiments for finding the successful uses of the atomic energy. A nuclear reactor was set up to elaborate atomic energy and for heating and power. This reactor consisted of a large pile of graphite into which was insulated uranium metal. When enough fuel is filled in the nuclear base it sparks but the graphite protects it from explosion so that the nuclear fire burns peacefully and safely. The nuclear furnace produced a heat which can be compared to the burning of thousands of tons of coal. Atomic energy can be put to various constructive uses. Small amount of it can be used for a very large amount of heating and power. This reactor consisted of a large pile of graphite into which was insulated uranium metal. When enough fuel is filled in the nuclear base it sparks but the graphite reactor it forms explosion so that he nuclear fire burns peacefully and safely.
