The benefits and drawbacks of Nuclear Power Nuclear Power is power that is generated by a controlled chain-reaction from nuclear fission in which a uranium-235 atom splits up into two daughter nuclei (Krypton-91 and Barium-143); the uranium also releases three neutrons when it splits. In nuclear reactors these neutrons are controlled by boron control rods so that only one neutron can get through to the next enriched uranium rod and initiate further nuclear fission, this process is called a chain reaction. In a nuclear power plant the vast amount of heat energy that is released from a chain reaction is carried to the heat exchanger, where the heat will be transferred into a water pipe, turning the water into steam (there are variations but the diagram above shows the major system). As in coal powered power stations this steam is then used to turn a turbine which in turn will turn
