Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process called fission. At the power plant‚ the fission process is used to generate heat for producing steam‚ which is used by a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus‚ which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay. What are the Benefits of Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants
