What is nuclear power?
Nuclear power is any nuclear
technology designed to extract usable
energy from atomic nuclei via
controlled nuclear
The process of generation nuclear power starts with the
mining and processing of uranium and other radioactive
elements. These elements are used to feed the reactor
of a nuclear power plant, generating a reaction known
as fission which creates intense heat, turning water in
the plant into steam. The steam powers steam turbines,
which generate electricity and feed the electricity into
the electrical grid.

History
Origins
Early years
On June 27, 1954, the USSR's Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant
became the world's first nuclear power plant to generate
electricity for a power grid.
Developement
Installed nuclear capacity initially rose relatively quickly, rising
from less than 1 gigawatt (GW) in 1960 to 100 GW in the late
1970s, and 300 GW in the late 1980s.
