Introduction

Nuclear power energy usually gives a negative impression on most of us. Actually that feeling comes from the word radioactive waste of nuclear power and also nuclear power known as pollution source for the environment. Furthermore events such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukushima, and Chernobyl left cities abandoned and destroyed. Nuclear has disastrous effects on the environment but can fix our climate change problem.

I. Background this section will discuss the main factor of climate change and nuclear power plant’s important parts.

A. The main factor of climate change.

Industries, houses and transportation vehicles use power that usually comes from non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuel and coal which produce greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O).

B. The nuclear power plant.

One of the most efficient sources of electric power is nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants contain four main parts. The most important part of nuclear power plants is the generator which converts the energy came from steam turbine to AC .The second part is steam turbine which takes the heat energy from the nuclear reactors
