A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
the reactor vessel
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.

Nothing happens in the nuclear plant in Bataan. This plant was built but never operated.

Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.
The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
It produces no electricity
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
fuel assemblies in the core.
