    Nuclear Plants

    A nuclear power plant is a thermal power generator that produces electricity by splitting atoms to create steam, which is then used to power up steam turbines. Statistically, nuclear power plants are extremely safe, but there have been incidents where various malfunctions led to serious problems and safety risks.
