The primary energy used by the world is nuclear fission, from which electricity is produced. Fission of the nuclear nucleus is a natural phenomenon that releases millions of times more energy than other sources of energy used by mankind, at the atomic scale. The nucleus then splits into two highly radioactive fragments, releasing energy and producing new neutrons. These neutrons transform into other specifics, propagating the process from the phylline nucleus to the phylline nucleus and creating a chain reaction that, if not controlled, could lead to an atomic bomb or an accident. For the production of electricity, all of the art of engineers consists of using this chain reaction in reactors to increase the release of energy over months and years.
