Nuclear energy is first changed to heat in a nuclear power plant using a process called nuclear fission. The heat generated is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
The United States was the first country to use nuclear power for electricity generation, with the first nuclear power plant going online in 1957 in Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
The first nuclear power plant in Pakistan, called Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP), was established in Paradise Point, Karachi in 1972.
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
Canada's first Nuclear Power Plant was the NPD Power Plant built in Rolphton Ontario, and began operation in 1962. It was the first of the CANDU power plant design which is now used around the world.
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
The first nuclear reactor used for peaceful purposes was that in Russia (June 1954) and is called Oninsk nuclear power plant. It is the first in the world to generate electricity for an electric power grid system. It produced around 5 megawatts of electric power.
