A nuclear power station big enough to supply a city of a million people consumes just 3 kg of uranium a day, so it is by far the most concentrated source of energy used by man.
A tiny push caused by neutrons divide the Uranium nucleus. And when a nucleus splits, it releases huge amounts of energy, in a process called 'nuclear fission'. During this process, at least two extra neutrons are produced, which fly off and cause further fission–so that once the process has started it can continue indefinitely.

A nuclear reactor produces and controls the release of energy from splitting the atoms of uranium. Uranium-fueled nuclear power is a clean and efficient way of boiling water to make steam which drives turbine generators. Except for the reactor itself, a nuclear power station works like most coal or gas-fired power stations.

The Nuclear power is the utilization of nuclear resources for the generation of electricity. Nuclear Power includes, Nuclear Fission, Nuclear decay. Majority of the nuclear energy is from the elements of Actinide series of the periodic table which produce nuclear fission predominantly. read more.....http://www.wonderwhizkids.com/index.php/nuclear-power
About half a million years ago, human beings learned to make fire. By collecting and burning wood they were able to warm themselves, cook food and manufacture primitive implements. All these activities utilize various forms of energy - biological, chemical, solar and hydraulic.read more.....http://www.wonderwhizkids.com/index.php/nuclear-power
Uranium (U) is a metallic, silver-gray element that is a member of the actinides series. It is the principle fuel for nuclear reactors, but it also used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Uranium is a very heavy metal which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy. read more.....http://www.wonderwhizkids.com/index.php/nuclear-power
"Nature versus nurture" is a debate related to whether heredity or the environment most impacts human psychological development such as behavior, habits, intelligence and personality. It's obvious that you share your parents' DNA in the physical sense like you might have blue eyes like your father but it is difficult to explain your love of writing poetry or being a talented football player in the same way. The theory of genetic predispositions is known as the "nature" theory of human behavior and the theory that people think and behave in certain ways because they are taught and trained to do so is known as the "nurture" theory of human behavior. The understanding of the human genome has made it clear that Nature endows us with innate tendencies and Nurture enables expression of these genetic tendencies as we respond, adapt, learn and mature. People who take the position that all or most behaviors and characteristics are the result of inheritance are known as nativists, where as people who take the position that all or most behaviors and characteristics are the result of learning are known as empiricists.

Researchers and scientists completely dedicated their study to the world, which is so small, we can't see it – even with a light microscope. That world is the field known as nanotechnology, the monarchy of atoms and nano-structures.
Nanotechnology is so new, no one is really sure what will come of it. But, science experts predict that Nanotechnology has the potential to profoundly change our world and our economy to improve our standard of living. Numerous products featuring unique properties of nanoscale materials are already available to consumers and industry today.
