Have you ever heard of atomic energy? Also called nuclear energy, it is the energy produced from the division of particles (fission). As a result, each particle that is released collides with another, which releases another, which hits another… And so it goes. When they bump into each other, the particles release a large amount of heat, enough to produce clean, renewable energy. In Brazil, there are 3 nuclear power plants in the region of Angra dos Reis/RJ.
