  1. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission - when nuclei of atoms split into several parts - or fusion - when nuclei fuse together. The nuclear energy harnessed around the world today to produce electricity is through nuclear fission, while technology to generate electricity from fusion is at the R&D phase.
    • Nuclear Research

      Nuclear science, technology and research represent the underlying foundation of all nuclear applications. Nuclear applications contribute in many ways to health, development and security worldwide. They are used in a broad range of areas, from power production to medicine, agriculture, food safety, environment, forensics, industry, and the analysis of artefacts.

    • Nuclear Science

      Nuclear science and technology is the foundation for all the IAEA's activities. The Agency assists Member States with scientific advice, education, training and technical documents in many nuclear science areas, provides key nuclear data and helps them improve awareness about the wide range of applications of nuclear technology.

    Nuclear fusion is the process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier elements. In cases where the interacting nuclei belong to elements with low atomic numbers (e.g., hydrogen [atomic number 1] or its isotopes deuterium and tritium), substantial amounts of energy are released.The vast energy potential of nuclear fusion was first exploited in thermonuclear weapons, or ...

    Nuclear power is a type of nuclear technology involving the controlled use of nuclear fission to release energy for work including propulsion, heat, and the generation of electricity. Nuclear energy is produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction which creates heat—and which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine.
  7. Nuclear power is the world's largest and most reliable source of clean energy, and supplies electricity to the homes of tens of millions in America each and every day. To fight climate change, the world will need new and better ways of leveraging this energy source, which is produced by nuclear reactors through a process that generates zero greenhouse gases.
