Answer 2

Hey friend, Harish here.

Here is your answer:

Nuclear fission refers  to a nuclear reaction in which two light nuclei fuse together to form heavy nucleus with release of large amount of energy.

Example: Two deuterium nuclei can fuse together to form a helium atom by releasing a large amount of energy.
______________

The steps involved in generating electricity in nuclear reactors are:

1)Uranium atom splits releasing energy so fuel becomes hot. This heats the water and turns it into steam.

2) This steam turns the turbine. 

3)This turbine when rotates turn a generator and electricity is produced.

4)This electricity goes to the transforms to produce the correct voltage.

Refer to the below attached image of the above process
