1
Form of energy released from the nucleus
All that power and potential from a tiny atom.
2
The nuclear energy
harnessed around the
world today to produce
electricity is through
nuclear fission.
Each time the reaction occurs,
there is a release of energy in the
form of heat and radiation. The
heat can be converted into
electricity in a nuclear power
plant, similarly to how heat from
fossil fuels such as coal, gas and
oil is used to generate electricity.
