In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. Innuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy.Nuclear power plants use nuclearfission to produce electricity

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. As a nuclear technology, nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium. Nuclear decay processes are used in niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators. Generating electricity from fusion power remains at the focus of an international research phase of development. This article mostly deals with nuclear fission power for electricity generation.
