  Nuclear energy Nuclear energy is the source of energy which is used to nuclear reaction to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions. Once the atoms are merged to make larger atom and energy is released in fusion like sun radiated energy. Nuclear energy is the energy from splitting atoms like uranium, thorium in a nuclear reactor to heat water to produce steam that rotates the turbines and produce electric power.   Nuclear power plant:--                                Nuclear power plant is the thermal power that harassed the thermal energy released from the nuclear fission that generates the electricity. Fission nuclear plant:--                                  A fission nuclear plant consists of the nuclear reactor in which the nuclear reaction generating heat take place. There is cooling system to removes the heat from the reactor. And steam turbine is used to transform steam into mechanical
