    Nuclear Power in the Present and Future

    During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialized countries. Nuclear power plants provide about 17 percent of the world's electricity. In the United States, nuclear power supplies about 15 percent of the electricity overall. Although no new plants are scheduled to be built in the United States, nuclear power is growing to be a popular producer of power.

According to Encyclopedia of Energy, Alok Kumar, “There are one hundred and four operational nuclear power plants in the United States, providing nineteen percent of the total electricity, which amounts to approximately 100,000 mw.” Since there are a few states left that do not have power plants, maybe they could raise money and build some nuclear power plants and then that would also help the U.S. in reducing the dependency on foreign oil. The power plants, which use a nuclear fission process to produce the heat to boil the water, and then using a turbine, it produces the electricity, which can help the U.S. in helping reducing the dependence on foreign…
