=Nuclear- Know How=

==Have you ever wondered how nuclear energy works to produce power then you have come to the right place, this is an online wiki that teaches you everything about how nuclear energy works to produce power. Nuclear energy comes from power plants which produce electricity by boiling water and creating steam. Nuclear energy comes from the nucleus of an atom, there are two different types of nuclear energy fission and fusion. Fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei uranium is used in this process it is a heavy white metallic element used in nuclear reactors and weapons.As, fusion is when smaller atoms combine to form a bigger atom. Nuclear fission also helps you play video games, watch television, and go on the computer because of the atoms splitting.==

==There also two types of reactors which are boiling water reactors and pressurized water reactors. Pressurized water reactors help the water in our sink have pressure so we can wash our hands and we can take showers. Meanwhile, boiling water reactors help heat water when we take showers or wash our hands. Nuclear Power Plants produce energy from the fission process it heats a water tank that sits above uranium, then the water travels through high-pressured pipes the steam blasts through some pipes to make a turbine run.==
