Harnessing the Energy of Atoms with Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is energy from atoms, primarily using uranium due to its large size and weak atomic force. The process involves fission, where uranium atoms are split by neutrons, releasing energy. This energy heats water to spin turbines, generating electricity. Nuclear power plants control this chain reaction with control rods.

What role does uranium play in nuclear power generation?
