Why I am interested in Nuclear Energy

I am a declared ISAT major, and one of the fields of interest I have been looking into is alternative forms of energy.  Let's be honest, this country and the world are in an energy crisis.  As the population goes up, the pollution caused by fossil fuels will go up along with the price of energy production.  I have been interested in wanting a new form of energy and that is why I am interested in nuclear energy.  I believe that nuclear energy is a safe and affordable form of energy that would help satisfy future energy needs and help bring down pollutants.  For those of you who do not know how nuclear fission works (the process by which nuclear energy is created), it basically has to do with taking a stray neutron being absorbed by Uranium 235, thereby creating unstable Uranium 236.  U236 will then split creating two new compounds (such as Krypton 92 and Beryllium 142) which then release two more neutrons.  As U236 splits, energy is created in the form of heat.  This heat would be used to boil water, which creates steam which would then power turbines, creating electricity.  The products from the nuclear energy is pure electricity and produces no green house gases.  This is why I am interested in nuclear energy and am spreading the word.  I believe it is, again, safe, affordable, and much better than any other form of energy and would like to get to know more about it.  I believe that everyone should be informed about nuclear energy in order for it to become a more widely used form of energy.
