Nuclear power generates heat and electricity using sustained nuclear fission or fusion.
Nuclear power refers to the use of sustained nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate heat and electricity. It is one of the meanings associated with the broader term “nuclear energy.” In the same context, related concepts include the nuclear reactor, which is the device used to sustain a controlled nuclear chain reaction, and other forms of nuclear energy such as nuclear binding energy (the energy needed to fuse or split an atomic nucleus) and nuclear potential energy (the potential energy of particles inside an atomic nucleus).
