nuclear power plant

A nuclear power plant generates electricity through a process called nuclear fission, where atoms of uranium or other fissile materials are split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of heat. This heat is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, creating electricity. The process is contained within secure reactors, preventing the escape of harmful radiation. Nuclear power provides a large, reliable source of low-carbon electricity, though it requires careful management of radioactive materials and waste. Overall, it’s a powerful and efficient energy option that supports sustained electricity production with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
