Fun-facts...

1. One nuclear fuel pellet (the size of a pencil's eraser) produces about the same amount of energy as burning 1 ton of coal, 150 gallons of oil or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas.

2. Less radiation is produced by a nuclear power plant than a coal-burning plant.

3. Nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide (which contributes to global warming and the greenhouse effect) nor sulfur and nitrogen oxides (which cause acid rain).

4. Nuclear energy accounted for 77% of France's electricity, 52% of Sweden's, and 22% of the United States'.
