    Nuclear power uses unstable elements like uranium. Uranium is constantly going through a process called nuclear decay‚ which means the atom is splitting apart over a period of time‚ measured in half-lives. This is why it is the element of choice for nuclear power plants. Uranium is special because it can go through what is called induced fission. Induced fission is when a free neutron is fired at an atom (like uranium). The atom will absorb the neutron‚ and immediately becomes unstable and splits
