nuclear fission

The Manhattan Project to develop the bombs was one of the greatest scientific, technological, and logistical achievements in history. The bombs ended the war and saved millions of lives of combatants and civilians.
What d’ya say – want to design a nuclear reactor? And why not? It’s a slow day, and what else are we going to do?
Nuclear energy is released from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions. The most common method used today is nuclear fission, which involves the splitting of uranium atoms with a resulting release of energy. This energy is then captured and used to produce electricity to power modern societies varied needs.
