Approx. 15 %.


How is nuclear electricity generated?

Most of us have got a wrong notion that electricity is derived right from the nucleus of Uranium. It is not true. From the fission of Uranium nuclei, we get enormous amount of heat energy which coverts water into steam at high pressure. This, in turn, runs the turbine which generates electricity by the electromagnetic induction principle.

Does nuclear energy contains uranium?

Yes, nuclear energy primarily comes from the process of nuclear fission, which involves splitting uranium atoms in a controlled manner to generate heat. Uranium is the most commonly used fuel in nuclear power plants due to its ability to sustain the chain reaction necessary for electricity generation.
