A plant for the production of atomic or nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is a source of power which is created from energy released by a nuclear reaction.
Nuclear fusion is where the energy is released when the nucleus of the atoms are combined or fused together to form a large atom. This type of energy production is part of the future because of the cost of hydrogen power plants. The sun produces this type of energy. Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use this type of nonrewable energy to produce energy by splitting atoms that are easily split like uranium.
