1.On a December afternoon in Chicago during the middle of World War II, scientists cracked open the nucleus at the center of the uranium atom and turned nuclear mass into energy over and over again
2.They did this by creating for the first time a chain reaction inside a new engineering marvel: the nuclear reactor
3.Since then, the ability to mine great amounts of energy from uranium nuclei has led some to bill nuclear power as a plentiful utopian source of electricity
4.A modern nuclear reactor generates enough electricity from one kilogram of fuel to power an average American household for nearly 34 years
5.But rather than dominate the global electricity market, nuclear power has declined from an all-time high of 18% in 1996 to 11% today
