Nuclear energy

Fission vs fusion- Nuclear energy a boon and a bane

In scientific terms, the energy released from the core or the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear energy. In the real world, nuclear energy is simply ‘organised chaos’, an oxymoron to the very core.

Policy-makers should look at nuclear power option

Nuclear power stations are expensive to build but cheap to operate. The economy of power generation is analysed according to “Levelised Cost of Electricity” (LCOE). LCOE accounts for the overall building cost, cost of operation and the cost of waste management in respect to the overall electricity output of the station over its lifetime.
