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
Top ‘Nuclear Explained’ Reads in 2024 | IAEA Nuclear energy was in the spotlight in 2024 as the IAEA and the Government of Belgium organized the world’s first Nuclear Energy Summit, and the IAEA raised its projections for nuclear electrical generation for the fourth year in a row Our explainer on nuclear energy was the most read in English and in all the other UN languages Read it here
Nuclear science | IAEA 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 Energy in the Clean Energy Transition Nuclear energy is still providing the world with a quarter of its low-carbon power and supporting the roll out of intermittent renewables like solar and wind In future we will see even more nuclear deliver the clean, reliable, and secure power the world needs
