Detailed Solution

Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear fission by splitting neutrons into two or more nuclei and emitting high radiation.
“The process in which a heavy nucleus breaks into two nearly equal fragments and a tremendous amount of energy is released is called nuclear fission”.
In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart, which releases energy. A nuclear reactor, or a nuclear power plant, is a series of machines that can regulate the nuclear reaction and the heat produced. The heat produced by a nuclear reactor is used to make steam from water, which is then passed to a turbine. The turbine blades turn, and they drive a generator that produces electricity.
