What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power What is nuclear fission? Nuclear fission is a reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, while releasing energy For instance, when hit by a neutron, the nucleus of an atom of uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei, for example a barium nucleus and a krypton nucleus and two or three neutrons
Nuclear Explained - International Atomic Energy Agency The articles and videos on this page offer easy-to-understand explanations of major topics in nuclear science and technology The many peaceful uses of nuclear technology have a beneficial impact on our everyday lives – from energy production and food security to health care and the protection of
Nuclear Explained - International Atomic Energy Agency Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free-moving electrons with unique properties distinct from solids, liquids or gases
Nuclear technology and applications | IAEA The IAEA assists its Member States in using nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes and facilitates the transfer of such technology and knowledge in a sustainable manner to Member States
Nuclear power and climate change | IAEA Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy In 2018, nuclear power produced about 10 percent of the world’s electricity Together with the expanding renewable energy sources and fuel switching from coal to gas, higher nuclear power production contributed to the levelling of global CO 2 emissions at 33 gigatonnes in 2019 1
Nuclear energy, safe use of nuclear power | IAEA The IAEA fosters the efficient and safe use of nuclear power by supporting existing and new nuclear programmes around the world, catalysing innovation and building capacity in energy planning, analysis, and nuclear information and knowledge management The Agency helps countries meet growing energy demand for development, while improving energy security, reducing environmental and health
