    Nuclear energy provides a low-carbon energy source that can help address climate change. It is produced through fission, the splitting of uranium atoms in a reactor, which generates heat used to power turbines. While having some economic and safety advantages over other energy sources, nuclear energy also has drawbacks such as high construction costs for plants and generating nuclear waste. Overall, nuclear energy will likely continue playing a role in the global energy mix.
