=**__Short Summary:__**= Nuclear power is a new alternative energy that produces a large amount of power by splitting an atom. This causes radiation that can give humans cancer. If used incorrectly, nuclear power can be disastrous, but if used properly it can help people in many ways. There are advantages and disadvantages to the nuclear power, such as the following. In the atmosphere there are small explosions that cause the atmosphere to break down slowly. It was caused by testing nuclear weapons in the 1940-2000s, when testing the explosion radiation forced into the ground. Making the atmosphere breakdown. In addition, the discovery of nuclear power led to nuclear weapons. There are Nukes and Atomic Bombs, because of these weapons there is hazardous radiation. In WWII there a bomb that increased the death rate of Americans, Germans and Japanese. This bomb was the Atomic Bomb. The Atomic Bomb is a bomb that creates a large mushroom cloud of radiation, heat, fire and extreme explosion that blows down homes, buildings, towns and even states. However, Nuclear power can also be used in a positive manner, such as fueling factories and electricity to cities.

=**How/Why It Started:**=

=
The idea of nuclear power was innovated in 1946, while our country was in the midst of World War II. We began nuclear testing with no idea of the consequences; only hopes for the future. Nuclear power was initially thought to be used as an eco-friendly alternative for energy and fuel. Nuclear power could greatly benefit the population be dispersing a immense amount of energy and power. If used correctly, nuclear energy could help place endless powers and possibilities under civilian control. However, there were negative results that began to arise in wake of the new power source. Despite these risks, private ownerships began to test and use this newfound resource in 1954.======

=**How It's Used**:=

=
Nuclear power has been around for some time now, and it has many functions. This has created nuclear defense and warfare across the world. This creates huge radiation from the bomb that erupts; most give off cancer and harmful radiation towards human and animals. Invented during WWII, nuclear power and weaponry has created a vast amount of energy and work. When making nuclear energy, the process starts by splitting and atom in a chamber and using its explosion to give off large amounts of energy. this energy is used to power huge turbines that have magnets, which cause electricity. The problem that comes from this large task is the amount of radiation that the atom produces, which makes nuclear power not so much of a convention tool.======

=Long-Term Effects:=

=
Despite the possible benefits of nuclear power, we must keep in mind the long-term effects that it may cause. Since the revelation of nuclear power, at least ten people have gotten cancer due to residue of nuclear testing. But if the testing sites were no longer active, how is this possible? You see, when you split an atom for nuclear power, it lets off an insane amount of energy. That energy gives off radiation, which then releases radioactive particles and the ground and atmosphere. These radioactive particles can, along with giving people cancer, cause explosions in the atmosphere. Due to these revelations, there was a limited test ban treaty when they realized the potential dangers of nuclear testing. This reduced nuclear fallout levels, and is very dire to keep the planet safe.======

=**Benefits to Society:**=

=
Along with the consequences of nuclear power, there are many benefits. Among these are that it is a new, efficient alternative to the conventional fuel systems. There are a vast amount of problems caused by burning fossil fuels, gas, coal, etc. These methods can cause problems for the environment. In addition, they are very costly. Nuclear power can, in theory, supply a household with almost endless energy. Nuclear energy is more efficient than the energy supplied by burning coal. If used correctly, nuclear power could possibly be the new conventional fuel system. With further testing, even further possibilities could be discovered.======

=**Out With The Old, In With The New:**= Nuclear power can replace many different things. In addition to being an alternative to energy, it provides new possibilities for weapons. With the advances in nuclear technology, it may be able to subsitute in for multiple things. Most of these changes are positive, but there are a few negativeas, as well. For example, nuclear bombs are a dangerous weapon of war. The united States dropped one on Japan in World War II, and they are still feeling the effects. however, the positive results of nuclear power include replacing gas and oil. It could also replace conventional fuel systems and power sources, such a coal burning.
