'''Nuclear Energy''' refers to the controlled use of the processes of splitting atoms (fission) and fusing atoms (fusion) in order to create energy. This page details how the processes work and the use of it in throughout the [[world history]].

==Process==
===Fission===
a neutron is shot at an unstable nucleus, which splits into smaller parts that release additional neutrons that continue the process in an exponential manner, releasing energy in the process yadda yadda.

Until 1920, physicists deemed it impossible to control the nuclear chain reaction in order to create a stable energy source. Instead, the unpredictable and exponential nature of the process, and the lack of any method of to control the process once started, made it only possible to be used in experimental weaponry. <br/>

==Gen I and II reactors==
they're nuclear reactors

==Gen III reactors==
Gen III reactors refer to nuclear reactors that utilise evolutionary elements or new designs that make them significantly improved in safety, energy output and scale than Gen II reactors.
