About 60 years ago, 3 , scientists found that atoms of uranium, a sort of 4 like coal, could be split, and 5 make a lot of heat energy, 6 they were hit by large numbers of neutrons. After a lot of research, scientists found they could produce an even 7 amount of heat by splitting a 8 of atoms one after the other, in 9 is called a chain reaction. But this means that a lot of uranium is needed to 10 the fuel to produce the heat energy and the supply will 11 to an end soon. Fortunately, a new development could make uranium 12 in the production of nuclear power. There are certain types of atoms, 13 , when they hit each other 14 great speed, join together 5 of breaking apart, and it 16 produces energy. The material needed in this 17 can be found in sea-water, which covers more than three- 18 of the earth. Therefore, nuclear energy produced 19 this way could be the solution 20 the energy crisis.
