Nuclear technology

Nuclear technology refers to the harnessing of atomic energy for various applications, primarily in electricity generation and medicine. It involves processes like nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom splits to release energy, providing power to nuclear power plants. Additionally, nuclear technology is used in medical imaging and cancer treatment through radiation therapy. While it offers significant benefits, such as low greenhouse gas emissions in energy production, it also raises concerns about safety, radioactive waste, and potential proliferation for weapons, necessitating strict regulations and oversight.
