Why was nuclear energy created?
Humans did not create nuclear energy, it was created shortly after the big bang when the first stars formed and began fusing hydrogen into helium. Later supernova explosions created elements up to uranium, which we can use as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs.
What does a nuclear power plant need to produce electricity?
Through machinesMy answer is short and simple, although not as much as the first one, lol. Nuclear power plants create electricity much the same as any other power plant the difference is the fuel used. The nuclear fission is the energy used to heat water that creates steam to turn a turbine which generates electricity.
