By Nuclear fission,nucleus of a
heavy,radioactive atom (eg-uranium,thorium,plutonium) is bombarded with low-energy neutrons to split into lighter nuclei.This generates tremendous amount of energy.This energy can be used to produce steam which turns the turbine and thus electricity is produced on a large scale.
Nuclear energy produces 10 million times the energy produced by combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
