Uranium: A favorite material for nuclear fission.
Generator: Device that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Electricity: The desired output.
Carbondioxide: Greenhouse gas that nuclear power stations don't emit.
Concrete: Favorite building material of nuclear power stations.
Three Mile Island: The most significant nuclear accident in the US to date.
Fukushima: Japanese nuclear power plant which failed in 2011.
Fission: Name given to process by which radioactive material decays into other elements.
Fusion: Process by which particles of one element join to form another.
Water: The most commonly used coolant.
Lead: Element frequently used in nuclear power plants as a shielding from radiation.
Controlrods: These absorb neutrons, slowing the fission process.
Moderator: Any material used to SLOW neutrons.
Pakistan: I wish this country didn't have nuclear power. Starts with a "P".
PWR: Pressurised water reactor.
BWR: Boiling water reactor.
Nonrenewable: Uranium, like coal, is a ________ energy source.
