tackle climate change; others insist it is dirty, dangerous, uneconomic,

and unnecessary. Either way, it helps what nuclear energy is and how it works—so let's forget the politics for a moment and take a closer look at the science. I'd like to tell you about nuclear industry of UK because I like this country, its history and traditions. Also, I was attracted by the condition that the work must be performed in English.

stations and they have 19 reactors in total quantity all over the UK. Most of the nuclear power stations are close to the deadline of operation, and experts will need to disable them for this reason. It is expected that the UK will already have five nuclear power stations over ten years, and each will have two reactors at least.
