About Nuclear Energy
 
Activity and Applications in Daily Life

Nuclear energy is present in several realms of our daily life. The most well-known is the one that generates a third of the electric power produced in the European Union.

Medicine has also benefited from nuclear technologies, as they are used in the fields of diagnosis, imaging and cancer treatment, as well as to cure certain thyroid, liver and metabolism illnesses, among others. In fact, modern medicine could not be conceived without radiology for diagnostic purposes and radiotherapy.
