The gallery was inaugurated by Dr Neelima Jerath, Director-General, Science City, here on Wednesday. Speaking at the occasion, Dr Jerath said nuclear energy was first utilised commercially in the 1950s, since then it has continued to grow, and there are now around 440 nuclear power reactors across the world, providing 10 per cent of the planet’s electricity.
Nuclear power is generated by bombarding uranium with neutrons and is an efficient source of energy with low carbon footprints as opposed to burning fossil fuels. However, it has to be properly managed to ensure safety.
