2. HOW IT ALL STARTED In the year 1896 a man named Antoine Henri
Becquereldiscovered radioactivity in uranium but never made much of
ituntil Einstein came up with the theory of Relativity, heconcluded
that mass(matter) and energy were two forms of thesame thing.
Therefore if we could transform mass into energywe can liberate
huge amounts of energy itself. In 1934 Otto Hahn and Fritz
Strassman had achieved the goalof splitting an atom, the discovered
nuclear fission they hadfinally transferred mass into energy just
like Einstein said it waspossible to do. 3. THE MANHATTAN PROJECT
When nuclear fission was discovered and the government had
beeninformed, they created the Manhattan project to produce an
atomic bombthe government spent more than 2 billion dollars on
facilities for the projectas well as scientists, engineers,
laboratories and building 37 installations in19 states including
Canada. The project was top secret and remained thatwas till the
task was completed. 4. NUCLEAR BOMBS:- Atomic bomb: works by
splitting large atomic nuclei (fission) such as uranium or
moreusually plutonium, this releases quite a lot of energy.
Hydrogen bomb: use an atomic bomb to ignite a nuclear fusion bomb -
this is fusinghydrogen Isotopes together to form helium. This
releases a lot more energy, especially asthe neutrons released by
the fusion part of the bomb makes the fission part more efficient.

GOOD FOR THEENVIRONMENT Nuclear power Clean energy 1) Air
Emissions: Nuclear power plants do not emit carbon dioxide, sulfur
dioxide, ornitrogen oxides as part of the power generation process
2) Water Resource Use: Nuclear power plants use large quantities of
water for steamproduction and for cooling Renewable 3) It produce
10x more electricity than normal ways. 9. HARMFUL WASTE OF NUCLEAR
1) Water Discharges: Heavy metals and salts build up in the water
used in all power plantsystems, including nuclear ones. 2)
radioactive waste: Every 18 to 24 months, nuclear power plants must
shut down toremove and replace the "spent" uranium fuel. 10. HOW
