As we begin to see the effects of global warming occur, and the prices of fossil fuels increasing while its availability decreases, nuclear power continues to be an attractive alternative energy source. Many countries have already employed nuclear energy to generate their electricity, heating, and general energy uses, and benefited greatly from it. Nuclear reactor power plants continue to be built and the concept of nuclear energy is quickly becoming more common throughout the European, Asian, and North American continents. With the many advantages to nuclear energy, both economic and chemical efficiency, it is no surprise nuclear power has become so highly regarded for its many attributes. Nuclear power in this regard continues to remain a highly acceptable alternative to fossil fuels.
