Bookmark or Share- Nuclear Power Today | Nuclear Energy - World Nuclear AssociationNuclear technology uses the energy released by splitting the atoms of certain elements. It was first developed in the 1940s, and during the Second World War research initially focused on producing bombs. In the 1950s attention turned to the peaceful use of nuclear fission, controlling it for power generation.
- Nuclear power reactors, reactor types and technologies | IAEANuclear technology and applications. Energy. Nuclear power reactors produce energy by initiating and controlling a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Currently, over 400 such reactors in 32 countries provide about 10 per cent of the world’s electricity.
- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power | IAEA15 Nov 2022. Andrea Galindo, IAEA Office of Public Information and Communication. Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together.
- Nuclear energy | Definition, Sources, Uses, & Facts | Britannicanuclear energy, energy that is released in significant amounts in processes that affect atomic nuclei, the dense cores of atoms. It is distinct from the energy of other atomic phenomena such as ordinary chemical reactions, which involve only the orbital electrons of atoms.
- International Atomic Energy Agency | Atoms for Peace and DevelopmentThe IAEA is the world's centre for cooperation in the nuclear field, promoting the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology.
