Nuclear energy is produced by the release of heat from unstable elements such as Uranium. The energy is harnessed by using the energy to heat water. The radioactive water is than pumped through a heat exchanger where the 'dirty water' is used to heat 'clean' water. The clean water can then be used to drive turbines and other forms of engine.

∙ 14y agoWhile nuclear fusion was first achieved on Earth during the 1930's and experiments continued during thermonuclear weapon tests by several countries during the 1950's, the uncontrolled power released during these experiments could not be harnessed as a useful source of energy.
