1 Electricity is generated from the energy that is released when the atoms of these minerals are split (by nuclear fission) in nuclear reactors. 2  A small amount of radioactive material produces a lot of energy. 3  Raw materials are relatively cheap and can last quite a long time. 4  It doesn't give off atmospheric pollutants.
No, a refrigerator should not be transported on its side. Refrigerators should be kept in an upright position as much as possible. Laying a refrigerator on its side can lead to oil leaking into the cooling tubes, which can cause damage to the appliance.
Please use the following steps when relocating an upright or chest freezer: 1  Disconnect the power cord from the wall receptacle. 2  Remove the food, defrost, and clean the freezer. 3  Use blankets to protect the freezer finish from scratches. 4  Place the freezer on its side for moving only if you have no other choice. When transporting a freezer, keep it in an upright position. If transporting it in an upright position is not possible, lay it down on the compressor side of the unit. Be careful to secure the door to prevent it from opening. If it has been transported on its side, set it right side up in its final location and allow the freezer to sit for the same amount of time that it was on its side (24 hrs max.). Do not plug the unit into the electrical receptacle without allowing this settling time. The unit can be damaged if it is plugged in prematurely. If the unit was transported in an upright position there is no waiting time required.
