    Nuclear power‚ or nuclear energy‚ is the use of exothermic nuclear processes carried out in controlled manner‚ to generate useful heat and electricity. Nuclear power works by using the energy from nuclear fission or fusion to generate heat. At the moment‚ nuclear fusion is still a subject of intense research and not used in production which is a pity. Nuclear fission is basically what is happening in a reactor. Radioactive elements have unstable nuclei and they are constantly going through random

    19 Nuclear Energy 19.1 Energy in your life Almost everything around us uses electricity and in order to power these devices‚ we must generate it. To create electrical energy‚ we must create thermal energy. Several techniques include using coal‚ natural gas‚ or nuclear thermal to create heat. Once heat is created‚ it is used to vaporize water and use the steam to propel a piston which turns an electric generator. Alternative energy sources include wind‚ solar‚ and micro hydro. 19.2 Nuclear Structure
