Explain how electrical energy is generated from nuclear energy.

(N/A) In a process called nuclear fission,the nucleus of a heavy atom,such as $U^{235}$,is bombarded with low-energy neutrons,causing it to split into lighter nuclei.
During this process,a tremendous amount of energy is released due to the mass defect.
This released heat energy is used to boil water to produce high-pressure steam.
This steam is then used to drive a turbine,which is connected to an electrical generator (dynamo),thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
