Nuclear power generation is a process that harnesses the energy released from nuclear fission to produce electricity. At its core, nuclear fission involves splitting the nuclei of heavy atoms, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, into lighter nuclei, which releases a significant amount of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators, ultimately converting thermal energy into electrical energy. As of now, there are 243 nuclear power plants operating worldwide across 32 countries, with a total installed capacity of 534.0 gigawatts (GW). The United States leads with 68 plants generating 130.7 GW, followed by Japan with 26 plants at 72.8 GW, and France with 19 plants at 63.1 GW. Other notable contributors include South Korea and China, with 11 and 14 plants producing 49.8 GW and 45.2 GW, respectively.
