Eli5: How are Nuclear Weapons different from Nuclear Power Plants?
In: Physics
Nuclear materials get “angry”*.
The stuff in a nuke would just punch you in the face, while the stuff in a power plant will talk about it instead.
The energy released is useful, either for making things disappear, or for boiling water to spin a fan to make power.
*Note; I am not qualified in this field, but that won’t stop me.
