With the user of breeder reactors we have sufficient resources to meet our electrical generation needs for several thousand years. The high level nuclear waste from an entire year of operation of a typical nuclear power plant will fit underneath an average sized coffee table. Contrast that with the amount of radiation released by burning coal, which consumes dozens of box cars a day and releases greenhouse gasses.
Nuclear (atomic) power is safe and relatively clean. Some industrial nations generate more than 50% of their electrical needs through nuclear power. For some applications, such as powering spacecraft to distant planets, nuclear power is absolutely essential.

How have humans changed the world?
Well, that depends....We changed it in good and bad ways! We definitely have created some new technology to save our world, but we also have polluted it. We have created technologies that can easily destroy our world (eg. atomic bombs), but we have the choice to not use them. Some people blame technology for all the bad things that humans have created with it, but actually it is just us, as we use it incorrectly.

Where do atomic bombs get their power?
atomic bombs get there power from the energy released by splitting an atom. A nucleus is fired into an unstable isotopse such as Uranium 235 and the Uranium is split into two daughter nuclei. A cloud of electrons, along with some energy, is released. Each of the electrons in turn splits another atom, creating a large chain reaction, and this releases enough energy to power an atomic bomb.
