Core of CROCUS, a small nuclear reactor used for research at the EPFL in Switzerland. A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators.
The splitting of a nucleus into fragments is accompanied by a very large release of energy. Nuclear Power Plants. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate power. The nuclei of uranium atoms, as well as the nuclei of other large atoms, can undergo nuclear fission naturally. The first nuclear fission reaction discovered involved uranium-235.
