Using Nuclear Energy (Hardcover)

by John Townsend

Heinemann
In "Using Nuclear Energy", we find out how scientists discovered nuclear power, what happens if you split an atom, and about the immense blast a nuclear weapon can create. We learn about fission, chain reactions, and how the science of the deadly Hiroshima bomb has been tamed to provide our homes with electricity. See how power plants deal with nuclear waste, calculate how much radiation is around you, and discover the many uses of radioactive material in our homes, schools, factories, and hospitals.

Reviews

Library Media Connection - Ann Bryan Nelson

Appealing cover illustrations and formats encourage students to learn more about these new science fields. Relevant education is furthered by this series’ goal to illustrate science education’s use in everyday life. Useful for assigned nonfiction reading, these books offer vocabulary and background information for student writers. A list of topics to research adds to their value. The glossary would be improved with pronunciation help. Bibliography. Websites. Index.
