Hazards
Generate electricity
Sources of background radiation e.g. cosmic rays, radioactive rocks
Sources of background radiation e.g. nuclear medical waste and weapons
Generates electricity from fission processes
Two light nuclei joining together to create a heavier nucleus, and energy is released
A large nucleus such as uranium splits into two smaller nuclei, and energy and neutrons are released
The amount of radiation a person absorbs over a given time
Radiation that is always present from various sources
Potential sources of danger
The likelihood of a source of danger resulting in an accident
Heat from fission reactors is used to create steam which drives turbines to do this
