We hear so much these days of local problems of electricity generation. Many consumers are taking steps to reduce their electricity consumption. This is as a result of the recent increase in electricity tariffs for users. We should all try to use less electricity, by insulating our houses, turning off the light when leaving a room and using less hot water.                                                                                                           We must try to develop alternative sources of energy to provide electricity for domestic and industrial application. It is known that nuclear power comes to the consumer as electricity, which is clean and convenient form of energy. Although nuclear power stations are large, they can be built far from places where people live.
