Nuclear renaissance
So kiddo, do you remember the atomic bombs that were used in Japan during World War II? They were very powerful and caused a lot of destruction.
Well, nuclear energy is created by splitting tiny particles called atoms and releasing a lot of energy. It's like when you break open a piñata and lots of candies fall out.
For a long time, people were scared of nuclear energy because it can be very dangerous if it's not used carefully. But in recent years, people have been coming up with ways to use nuclear energy safely.
The Nuclear Renaissance is a term people use to talk about the time when more and more countries are deciding to use nuclear energy to make electricity. Some people think it's a good idea because nuclear power plants don't make pollution like traditional power plants do, and they can make a lot of electricity without using up too many resources.
But other people are still worried about the dangers of using nuclear energy because if something goes wrong, it can be very dangerous for people and the environment. So, it's important to make sure we use nuclear energy safely and carefully.
