How does nuclear power work?

2D video · 34 seconds

A neutron splits a uranium-235 nucleus and energy bursts out; the freed neutrons split more nuclei in a chain reaction; control rods lowered between the fuel rods absorb neutrons to keep it steady; the heat boils water into steam, which spins a turbine and a generator that sends electricity to a house.
