Inside the reactor, an incredible amount of energy is generated through nuclear fission
More fission than stars
In a nuclear reactor, more atoms split every second than there are stars in the observable universe.
Cleanest areas of a power plant
Dust is not just a nuisance; In a nuclear power plant, it’s directly linked to safety as it could harbour radioactivity. The radiation controlled area (RCA) is therefore one of the cleanest areas in the power plant.
Hotter than the Sun
When an atom is split, temperatures higher than those on the Sun’s surface are generated on a microscopic scale. However, the energy is immediately dissipated through cooling.
