To obtain nuclear power, several key components are required. First, a reliable and safe nuclear reactor is crucial for generating nuclear energy. Second, a sufficient supply of enriched uranium or plutonium is needed as fuel for the reactor. Additionally, a robust infrastructure for handling, transporting, and storing radioactive materials is necessary to ensure safety and security. Finally, a thorough regulatory framework and public acceptance of nuclear power are important for its successful implementation.
