Soal TO Bahasa Inggris XI

Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the nucleus, or center, of an atom. It is the most powerful
form of energy that exists. Only in this century have scientist learned how to obtain nuclear energy.
They have put it to constructive uses, as in electric power stations. They have also put it to destructive
uses, as in the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb.

Sometimes nuclear energy is called atomic energy because it is obtained from atoms. This is not a good
choice of words. Other forms of energy can also be obtained from atoms. For example, chemical energy,
also, comes from atoms. But it comes from reactions outside the atomic nuclei ( nuclei is the plural of
nucleus). Chemical energy is released when coal, oil, gas, and other fuels are burned. This article uses
the more accurate term nuclear energy for the energy obtained from the nucleus of an atom.

Why did scientist begin to study nuclear energy? They did not know, when they began, that this energy
could be controlled and made into a useful form of power. Neither did they know how important the
threat of nuclear war would become in international affairs.

Scientist began to study nuclear energy for the same reason that more scientist studies are begun. They
were curious about the nature of the universe. They wanted to understand the laws by which the
universe work. Most of the important scientist discoveries made through-out history have been made
for these reason. But there are practical result as well. The more knowledge men have about the lawas
of the universe, the more they can control the world they live in.
