La habilidad para manipular la energía ha sido vital para la existencia de las civilizaciones: la energía hace que las cosas sucedan. La historia de la energía es la historia del progreso de la mente humana. Somos el cúlmen de un proceso que comenzó con el descubrimiento del fuego, pero cuyos avances tecnológicos se consolidaron sólo hace 200 años, siendo fundamental el descubrimiento de las fuentes fósiles. Los combustibles fósiles no son inagotables, por lo cual es imperante pensar en energías alternativas. En este artículo se discutirá la energía nuclear como una de las mejores opciones de las energías alternativas.
The ability to harness energy is a basic requisite for the existence of any civilization. Energy makes things happen. The story of energy essentially is the story of the progress of mankind. We have come a long way since the days our ancestors discovered fire. The explosion of technological advances has however taken place in a rather short time span of about 200 years as compared to the hundred thousand years of the use of fire. The industrial revolution and all the scientific progress happened only after we discovered and started tapping the fossil fuel resources. Unfortunately, this rapid progress has also been accompanied by a rapid population growth. The fossil fuels which were formed millions of years ago will not last forever and it is time to enhance alternative forms of energy production. In the present article we shall discuss this need for alternatives and consider one of the strongest candidate, namely, the nuclear energy option.
