Energy from nuclear fission : splitting the atom / by Dickmann, Nancy,author.(CARDINAL)331568;
Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.What is energy? -- Why use nuclear energy? -- Splitting the atom -- Nuclear fuel -- Inside a reactor -- Types of reactors -- How "green" is nuclear energy? -- Dangers and disasters -- A nuclear world -- The case against nuclear energy -- The case for nuclear energy -- The future is...fusion? -- Power up!"Earth has a limited supply of fossil fuels, and in the near future this supply will come to an end. However, more people live on the planet than ever in its history--and they all need energy. One of the ways in which we can meet this increasing demand for energy is through nuclear power. Nuclear power stations do not drain our planet of its resources, and they can supply a seemingly limitless source of energy. Discover more about nuclear energy, how it is created and harnessed, and the controversies and challenges that surround it."--Ages 10-14.Grades 7 to 8.1050LAccelerated Reader AR

Invention and innovation : a brief history of hype and failure / by Smil, Vaclav,author.(CARDINAL)323599;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Invention and innovation : a long history and modern infatuation -- Inventions that turned from welcome to undesirable. Leaded gasoline ; DDT ; Chlorofluorocarbons -- Inventions that were to dominate -- and do not. Airships ; Nuclear fission ; Supersonic flight -- Inventions that we keep waiting for. Travel in vacuum (hyperloop) ; Nitrogen-fixing cereals ; Nuclear fusion -- Techno-optimism, exaggerations and realistic expectations. Breakthroughs that are not ; Myth of ever-faster innovations ; What we need most."Smil presents the long history and modern infatuation with invention and innovation. Meticulous as always, these vast realms of human ingenuity are organized into sensible categories: inventions that went from welcome to undesirable, inventions that dominate and missed the mark, inventions we still dream about, and lastly, the exaggerations, myths, and wise expectations for innovations we need most"--
