Many Nuclear power stations have been running successfully since the 1950s.
In 2006 France generated 80% of its electricity by nuclear power.
Sweden has 13 nuclear power stations.
More fatalities have occurred in any one Yorkshire Coalmine than in all the Nuclear accidents to date.
There are at present 439 nuclear reactors operating successfully in the world.
Many scientists believe that nuclear power ‘one day’ will propel human beings to the stars.
Many believe Nuclear power to be the most energy efficient power of all.

These technologies are very important but concentrate on simple low cost solutions to energy efficiency such as.
Fit a lagging jacket.Insulate the roof space.Fit Draught excluders.Avail of Government grants to reduce costs.Fit energy efficient bulbs.Purchase “A” rated kitchen appliances.Replace old boiler.
