What is Atomic Energy?

Atomic energy is a form of energy that is released by the splitting of atoms. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

The term comes from the Greek word atomos meaning indivisible. The idea behind atomic energy is that it would be impossible to break an atom apart and use it for fuel because each atom has a nucleus which contains protons, neutrons and electrons.

The first atomic bomb was developed by scientists in the United States during World War II, when they split uranium atoms using nuclear fission and released a tremendous amount of energy in doing so.

As we know, nuclear power plants generate electricity by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission.

Thousands of atomic reactions take place each second in a nuclear power plant. For example, the uranium fuel inside the reactor is bombarded by neutrons and transmutes into plutonium. This reaction releases heat which is used to increase the temperature of water to around 400-900 degrees Fahrenheit to produce steam.
