Answer to Question 1

The process of splitting atoms to release their energy is called fission. During the fission process, heat is given
off, which is the important component in a nuclear power plant. The heat is used to turn liquid water into steam
which turns steam turbines to produce electricity.

Answer to Question 2

Nuclear energy was discovered when Henri Becquerel found that when photographic plates were subjected to
radium, they became exposed, even though they were covered
