sed to create heat, which boils water inside the
nuclear reactor. The steam that boiling the water makes is used to turn
turbines, which in turn, generate electricity. Fission happens inside a
carefully monitored nuclear reactor, when being used in a nuclear power
plant. The fission process that nuclear power plants use spends
approximately 30,000 tons of highly radioactive waste a year. (General
In a nuclear power plant, Uranium is used as fuel to boil the water for
the steam that makes the turbines turn. So, uranium is, in a sense, the
