Nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source that produces negligible carbon dioxide emissions during electricity generation. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce high temperatures that convert water into steam. The steam spins turbines that generate electricity. Nuclear reactors have the potential to provide large-scale, low-carbon baseload electricity without producing greenhouse gases. Currently, there are over 450 operational nuclear power reactors worldwide that supply ... Read more

Nuclear power provides a clean, reliable and affordable source of energy to millions of homes and businesses worldwide. Nuclear power plants generate electricity through the radiation and heat produced during nuclear fission or the splitting of uranium atoms in a contained space. These plants produce virtually no greenhouse gases and have the capacity to provide huge amounts of energy with an adequate supply of uranium fuel. Nuclear power currently avoids over 2 billion tons of carbon ... Read more
