The correct answer is nuclear

Nuclear or atomic energy is the energy produced in thermonuclear plants, which use uranium and other elements, as fuel.

The operating principle of a nuclear power plant is the use of heat (thermo) to generate electricity. The heat comes from the fission of the uranium atoms.  

Uranium is a non-renewable mineral resource found in nature, which is also used in the production of radioactive material for use in medicine.

In addition to its use for peaceful purposes, uranium can also be used in the production of weapons, such as the atomic bomb.

As a highly concentrated and high-yielding energy source, several countries use nuclear energy as an energy option. Nuclear plants already account for 16% of the electric energy produced in the world.

More than 90% of nuclear power plants are concentrated in the United States, Europe, Japan and Russia. In April 2018, the Russian government inaugurated the world's first floating nuclear power plant, located in the Arctic Sea.

In some countries like Sweden, Finland and Belgium, nuclear energy already represents more than 40% of the total electricity produced. South Korea, China, India, Argentina and Mexico also have nuclear power plants.

Answer:

Dependent Personality Disorder

Explanation:

Dependent PD is characterized by a lack of self-confidence and an excessive need to be looked after. This person needs a lot of help in making everyday decisions and surrenders important life decisions to the care of others. He greatly fears abandonment and may go through considerable lengths to secure and maintain relationships. A person with dependent PD sees himself as inadequate and helpless, and so surrenders his personal responsibility and submits himself to one or more protective others. He imagines that he is at one with these protective other(s), whom he idealizes as competent and powerful, and towards whom he behaves in a manner that is ingratiating and self-effacing. People with dependent PD often end up with people with a cluster B personality disorder, who feed on the unconditional high regard in which they are held. Overall, people with dependent PD maintain a naïve and child-like perspective and have limited insight into themselves and others. This entrenches their dependency, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
