Nuclear power refers to the use of nuclear reactions to generate electricity. This process primarily involves nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom (often uranium-235 or plutonium-239) is split into smaller parts, releasing a substantial amount of energy. This energy is used to heat water, produce steam, and drive turbines that generate electricity. ### Key Components of Nuclear Power: 1. **Nuclear Reactor**: The core of a nuclear power plant where fission occurs.
