The source of energy in almost all nuclear power plants is fission or the splitting of the atom. There are a few experimental fusion power plants, (or the joining of the atoms), but, there are few of them, since the energy needed to produce fusion is extremly high, and only last a few seconds.
Around 99.99% of nuclear power plants are fission power plants.

What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
What is Frances main energy source?
Nuclear power plants and fossil fuels such as petroleum.
What is the most powerful man made energy source on earth?
Nuclear reactions like nuclear power plants ^_~
How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
French main source of energy?

What energy source provides France with most of its power?
nuclear power plants

What is the source of the large amount of energy released in nuclear power plants and in the sun?
Hydrogen gas
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear power plants, of which there are many.
How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?
The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.
Is nuclear energy renewable or non renewable?
Nuclear energy is classified as a nonrenewable energy source. This is because the nuclear fuel used in power plants (such as uranium or plutonium) is a finite resource that can eventually run out.
