Why Nuclear Powerplant should be our main source of energy

Nuclear Powerplant : As Main Souce of Energy

Introduction

It is matter which gives us shape and energy whcih gives us the action and they both together make this beautiful creation . The best possible marriage of matter and energy is celebrated as life in the creation while the seperation of the two stands out as the best definition of death . There is plenty of matter around so is plenty of energy but not all the form of matter is useful to humanity and so is the case with energy . Humans need matter in

a variety of specific from like as metal alloys , composite etc . and they like energy is a variety of specified forms like electricity , chemically stored energy , kinectic energy , heat etc

That they are not different but just different menifestations of each other was derived beautifully by the genius of the 20th century , I will prefer to say the genius of all times , Albert Eistein , through his Special Theory of Relativity . His famous formula , E mc2 , puts matter (m ) and energy (E ) on the two sides of an equal sign , through a universal constant , the velocity of light in vacuum (c ) squared . Here we will not get into the Special Theory of Relativity ' or the derivation of this formula , which is now part of syllabus of college physics and readers are advised to refer to any good book on Modern Physics to undersrstand and enjoy the beautiful theory by Albert Einstein . With this energy - mass equivalence formula , the world came to know a perpetual source of energy , the matter , which is avilable in such an abundance that there can be no energy crisis . But whether the picture is so beautiful , not really as world has to face the Middle - East energy crisis even after many decades of this formula being known and many power plants operating on the principals of this magical formula . The catch is , one needs to destroy the matter to convert it into energy and to destroy the matter to convert it into energy is no childs play . Even after this formula was known , it took many years to realize that to some extent matter can be destroyed in nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions and also that these reactions can be self sustaining in some nuclear reaction systems . It will be appropriate to have a look at historical developments in this field

It will not be inappropriate to start on an apologetic note that the first use of this fantastic source of energy was for destructive purpose - Bombing of Japan in 1945 during the World War - II . So tragic were the consequences that nobody can look for any justifications , whatever could have been the stratagic compulsions of the war . One can only hide himself behind some pretexts of strategic compusions coupled with the fact that the enormity of the effects of bombing were beyond imaginations of even those who made it and those who ed it
