Nuclear Energy - A Smart Energy Alternative

In reality, nuclear power is an extremely safe, environmentally friendly form of energy. Accounting for seventeen percent of the world's total electrical production, nuclear power is utilized safely and effectively in many countries, especially throughout Europe. In France, nuclear reactors provide about seventy-five percent of the country's electricity. The United States, housing over one hundred of the world's more than four hundred nuclear plants, uses nuclear power to generate approximately fifteen percent of its total annual energy consumption.
