Mighty Force Behind Small Particles - Miracle Coexists With Extermination

Fission Mechanism

Chain Reaction

Since the deposit of Uranium ore is limited, nuclear energy (based on fission) is a nonrenewable energy source.

Inside Nuclear Power Plant

Symbol Of Modernization

On December 20, 1951, EBR-I, located in Idaho, powered four 200-watt lightbulbs, indicating the first successful attempt of generating electricity by fission.

Fukushima Tragedy

Disaster And Opposition

Formidable accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima remain as a persuasive reason for environment activists to oppose construction of nuclear power plants.

Fusion Mechanism

Sunshine Power

Since Deuterium and Tritium are almost inexhaustible, nuclear energy (based on fusion) is a renewable energy source.

Experiment

Under Restraint

Unlike hydrogen bombs, Tokamak reactors utilize very strong magnetic field to retard the fusion process.

Expand The Scope Of Humans

Science Fiction To Reality

Since farther space travel requires a vast amount of energy, it seems that the controlled nuclear fusion is the only viable way for humans to become a interplanetary species.
