Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. But first the energy must be released. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.i. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy.ii.

Should this not be the goal of one’s existence—to discover, nurture, and promote the distinct genius if you will, that each of us possesses?Does that sound like one is ignoring the rest of all mankind to lead a petty, isolated existence?
