Nuclear Energy in Focus: The Road Ahead
Nuclear energy is one of the most powerful forms of energy available today. It is derived from nuclear reactions primarily fission, where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy. This energy can be harnessed for various applications, most notably electricity generation, but also in medicine and scientific research fields. As global demand for energy grows hand in hand with the urgent need to combat climate change nuclear energy gains renewed attention as a reliable alternative to fossil fuels.
