Nuclear energy transfers into usable energy

 * Nuclear energy is transfered into usable energy by using uranium rods as fuel which generates heat that generates by nuclear fission.
 * Carbon dioxide gas or water is pumped through the reactor to take the heat away, this then heats water to make steam.

This type of energy used today
> > ==Advantages using nuclear energy==
 * The steam which is made from the hot water, drives turbines that drive generators.
 * Nuclear power costs about the same as coal, so not expensive.
 * Nuclear energy is reliable.

Disadvantages using nuclear energy

 * Not much is produced, its very dangerous.
 * Nuclear power is reliable but alot of money is spent on safety.
