Producing electricity
The energy of fission of fissile atoms is transformed in heat and electricity.
with the help of nuclear fission.
nuclear fission
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
It is very expensive, and it is hard to keep up
Advantages: it is an alternative source of electricity and heat; it is at the base of fission bombs.Disadvantages: radioactive wastes are produced.
In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
Fission. We don't have the technology to fuse atoms in a controlled way yet.
In a nuclear reactor, the controlled splitting of atoms (nuclear fission) generates heat, which is used to produce steam from water. The steam then drives turbines that are connected to generators, producing electricity. The process essentially harnesses the heat energy released during nuclear fission to produce electricity.
