Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Weapons: A Shared Origin with Diverging Paths

Nuclear energy harnesses the immense power stored in the nucleus of atoms. In civilian power plants, this energy is released through a process called nuclear fission, in which atoms of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 are split in a controlled chain reaction. The heat generated is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. This process, while complex, is generally stable and closely monitored for safety and efficiency.
