Nuclear Power
Nuclear energy is released during the splitting or fusing of atomic nuclei. The primary method to extract usable nuclear energy in use today is through controlled nuclear fission in atomic reactors. The heat produced in these reactors is used to drive steam turbines which in turn generate usable electricity.
