How the nuvlear energy is generated …

Nuclear Energy is the energy in the core of an atom. Where an atom is a tiny particle that constitutes every matter in the universe. Normally, the mass of an atom is concentrated at the center of the nucleus. Neutrons and Protons are the two subatomic particles that comprehend the nucleus.There ex a st massive amount of energy in bonds that bind atoms together.

When ²³⁵₉₂U undergoes a fission after being bombarded by a neutron, it splits into two nuclei and releases a neutron. This extra neutron now initiates the fission of another ²³⁵₉₂U nucleus. For that matter, 2.5 neutrons are released per fission of a uranium nucleus. Also, fission produces more neutrons than what can be consumed.

This increases the chances of a chain reaction with each neutron that is produced, triggering another fission. If this chain reaction is uncontrolled, then it can lead to destruction (like a nuclear bomb). On the other hand, in a controlled manner, it can be harnessed to generate electric power.
