Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which is most frequently used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.

The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion.

Nuclear power is one of the major sources of electricity in some countries, and it is expected to remain an important resource for generating electricity in the coming decades.

The main advantages of nuclear power include its potential for providing large amounts of electricity with a relatively small environmental impact, its efficiency, and its ability to provide energy with reduced emissions of carbon dioxide.

However, there are also significant disadvantages to nuclear power, such as the potential for accidents, radioactive waste, and the risk of nuclear proliferation.
