atomienergiatehtaat
Atomienergiatehtaat, or nuclear power plants, are facilities designed to harness nuclear reactions to generate electricity. The primary process employed is nuclear fission, where the nucleus of a heavy atom, typically uranium, is split into smaller nuclei. This splitting releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat.
This heat is then used to boil water, creating steam. The steam drives a turbine, which in
Safety is a paramount concern in the design and operation of atomienergiatehtaat. Multiple safety systems are
The electricity generated by atomienergiatehtaat is a significant source of power in many countries. It is
