Marie Curie's contribution to nuclear energy was primarily in the area of research on radioactivity. She discovered the elements polonium and radium, which are highly radioactive. Her work laid the foundation for later research in nuclear physics and the development of nuclear energy.
Both at Texas A&M University and the University of New Mexico, there are nuclear engineering departments conducting research in nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is used in Canada primarily for electricity generation. Ontario is the largest user of nuclear energy, with over 60% of its electricity produced by nuclear power plants. There are also research reactors used for medical isotopes and academic research.
Nuclear engineers are at the forefront of researching and developing the benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Engineers combine their knowledge of nuclear energy to the design, research, development, and construction processes.
As of 2021, Australia relies on nuclear energy for less than 1% of its electricity generation. The country does not have any commercial nuclear power plants, but it does have a research reactor used for medical and research purposes.
Somalia hasn't power nuclear reactors, research nuclear reactors, research institutes for nuclear energy, uranium mines and any plants or laboratories linked to uranium.

Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
Nuclear energy is typically used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants. Ships and submarines also use nuclear energy to power their propulsion systems. Additionally, some research facilities and spacecraft are powered by nuclear energy sources.
Nuclear energy is used in science in three general areas. We rely on nuclear technology in a number of areas of medicine. We also use nuclear energy to generate power. There are also research applications where nuclear physics is applied to learn and understand more about the subatomic world.
