Nuclear Fuels - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain that nuclear energy comes from the bonds within an atom's nucleus, where protons and neutrons are held together. This energy can be released by splitting large atomic nuclei, such as uranium or plutonium, in nuclear reactors, producing heat that generates steam to drive turbines and produce electricity. While nuclear energy is highly efficient and produces no carbon emissions, it is non-renewable, generates radioactive waste, and requires careful disposal.
