This overview of nuclear power explains the fundamental processes involved, including nuclear fission—a chain reaction that generates heat energy. The equation E=mc² illustrates the relationship between mass and energy in nuclear reactions. Control rods are essential for regulating these reactions within a reactor, ensuring safety and efficiency. Additionally, the management of radioactive waste is a crucial aspect of nuclear power, highlighting the importance of responsible practices in harnessing energy from uranium and safeguarding the environment.
