a lack of non contaminated materials for animals and humans to use, the nuclear
waste is also hard to remove or get rid of.
How It Works:
Nuclear power is caused by using nuclear fission, or the splitting of uranium atoms
to cause a surge of energy which is then converted into the energy that can be
used to power electronics
