Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
A steam turbine/generating unit, or a naval vessel
According to the nuclear regulatory commission (NRC) there are at least 11 nuclear powered electrical generating plants. There are 4 facilities which have been shut down and are being decommissioned.
1. Increased electrical generating capacity provides for more complex weapons, environmental, navigation and control systems. 2. A little known fact is that all nuclear powered vessels can redirect their electrical generating capacity to power cities or towns that have lost their electrical power during a disaster.
"Why are you a nuclear powered human being?"
The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion

Yes, nuclear fusion
yea by nuclear fusion
Coal powered electricity generating plants are quite common. Here in the provice of Ontario (where I live and type) I know that approximately one third of the electricity in the provice is generated by coal power (the other thirds being nuclear and hydroelectric).
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
