Nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom are facilities that generate electricity through nuclear fission, a process in which the nuclei of atoms, typically uranium-235 or plutonium-239, are split to release energy. The UK has a relatively extensive history with nuclear energy and currently operates several nuclear power stations.
