Nuclear
energy and coal are both considered as the most significant sources of energy
for humans. In their absence, there would be no difference between the previous
centuries and our luxurious 21st-century. As essential sources of energy
though, there exist some differences between the two. Three various aspects in
the nature of nuclear energy from coal differentiate the two, they are:
characteristics, benefits and adverse effects.
Nuclear energy can either be produced naturally or
through man-made equipment. Natural nuclear energy from the sun and other stars
come in the form of heat and light produced through nuclear reactions. Man-made
nuclear energy, on the other hand, is produced in nuclear reactors.
