Answer:Nuclear power comes from nuclear fission

Explanation:Nuclear power plants heat water to produce steam. The steam is used to spin large turbines that generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy.

Answer:

Nuclear energy is generated either by Fission of a nucleus into two or more fragments , or by Fusion of two nuclei into one. The nuclear energy is used to superheat steam and then drive a rotor axle inside a generator and then generate electricity.
