Most of us have got a wrong notion that electricity is derived right from the nucleus of Uranium. It is not true. From the fission of Uranium nuclei, we get enormous amount of heat energy which coverts water into steam at high pressure. This, in turn, runs the turbine which generates electricity by the electromagnetic induction principle.
