nuclear energy核能

nuclear fusion核聚变

nuclear fission 核裂变

Nuclear energy comes from the combining (fusion) or splitting apart (fission) of the nucleus of atoms. In nuclear power plants, the radioactive element uranium undergoes nuclear fission to produce electricity.

核能由原子中核子的聚集或分裂作用而产生。在核能发电厂里，放射性元素铀经过核裂变产生电力。

Nuclear energy is a non-renewable energy source that comes from the nucleus of atoms.

核能是由原子核产生的不可再生资源。

Nuclear fusion is when the nuclei of atoms are combined or fused together.

原子核结合或融合在一起叫核聚变。

Nuclear fission is when the nuclei of atoms are split apart.

原子核分裂叫核裂变。

Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear fission.

核电站通过核裂变发电。

Uranium is a naturally-occurring radioactive element found in rocks all over the world.
