Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy is the energy released from the nucleus of an atom. It can be produced through two main processes: nuclear fission (splitting of heavy atoms like uranium or plutonium) and nuclear fusion (joining of light atoms like hydrogen isotopes, though this is still experimental for power generation).

In nuclear power plants, nuclear fission is commonly used. When uranium atoms are split in a reactor, they release a large amount of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which turns turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.

Nuclear energy is considered a low-carbon energy source, since it produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases during operation. It is also highly efficient—small amounts of fuel can generate huge amounts of power.

However, nuclear energy has challenges. The radioactive waste produced remains hazardous for thousands of years and requires safe storage. There are also concerns about nuclear accidents (such as Chernobyl and Fukushima) and the high cost of building and maintaining nuclear power plants.

Despite these issues, nuclear power plays an important role in providing reliable, large-scale electricity and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
