atomic Pile

An atomic pile, also known as a nuclear reactor or reactor core, is a device that produces energy through controlled nuclear fission. Inside, specialized fuel atoms, like uranium, are split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which then drives turbines to produce electricity. The atomic pile is carefully designed with materials to control the fission process and ensure safety. It was a pioneering technology that demonstrated how nuclear reactions could be harnessed to generate energy efficiently and safely.
