How does a nuclear power plant work?
In: 6
They hit an atom with a neutron, which breaks the atom apart into smaller parts AND some more neutrons which will break apart other atoms.
Whenever an atom breaks apart that creates a lot of energy.
This energy in the form of heat heats up some water which turns into steam, which rotates a turbine, which is hooked up to a generator that turns the rotation into electricity.
