Nuclear Reactors 678 - Public Fear Of Nuclear Reactors Reduces Support For Expanding The Use Of Nuclear Power in the U.S.
Nuclear power generates about twenty percent of the electricity in the U.S. from a fleet of ninety-eight nuclear power reactors at sixty-one nuclear power plants. Unlike all other forms of power generation in use, there is a public fear of nuclear reactors and materials.

Researchers Are Working On The Use Of Americium For Space Batteries
Americium is a highly radioactive element that does not occur in nature. It is produced when plutonium decays. Plutonium is produced in nuclear reactors. Researchers at the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and University of Leicester in the U.K. are exploring the possibility of using americium to produce electricity.
