This informative volume follows three fictional teenage journalists who interview a variety of professionals about nuclear energy. They begin by talking to a chemistry professor who teaches them about fission, and conduct further research on topics such as reactors, uranium enrichment, and disposal of waste. The students also visit Fukushima, a nuclear plant which recently encountered a natural disaster and a meltdown, and learn about new safety measures being adopted at reactors around the world. Photos and graphics illustrate the many processes that transform uranium into nuclear energy, and sidebars add historical and contextual detail. The “Your Turn” section asks questions that encourage discussion. A glossary; research prompts; a bibliography; suggested reading and Web site; and an index are included.
