Forbes reported on the most important things to know and understand about nuclear energy.
As quoted in the market news:
There are two types of nuclear energy – fission and fusion. Fission involves breaking large atoms into smaller ones while fusion involves fusing smaller atoms into larger ones. In either case, massive amounts of energy are released. Fission is currently the only practical way to generate electricity using nuclear energy. There are no fusion power plants that are actively contributing energy to any energy grid in the world. For fission, we generally use uranium, which comes from the ground.
