General comment Nuclear power involves the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity, primarily through nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium. Nuclear power plants harness controlled nuclear chain reactions to generate heat via fission, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to create electricity. |
