| "Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion. Presently, the nuclear fission of elements in the actinide series of the periodic table produce the vast majority of nuclear energy in the direct service of humankind, with nuclear decay processes, primarily in the form of geothermal energy, and radioisotope thermoelectric generators, in niche uses making up the rest."
This is the wikipedia definition of nuclear power, however many still do not understand nuclear power, its benefits, or how it may impact our future. Hopefully my website will break down the science and educate you. My goal is to alleviate the paranoia created by disasters such as chernobyl and fukushima.
