Nuclear energy is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. In reactors, the chain reaction of uranium atom fission (uranium ore) releases heat, which produces steam that drives a turbine connected to a generator, which in turn produces electricity. Is nuclear power a risky future for France?
