Answer: nuclear fission

Step-by-step explanation:

Uranium is the fuel source in a nuclear power plant. Uranium atoms are split by being bombarded with high speed neutrons. Nuclear fission. the splitting of atoms, is a chain reaction, carefully controlled by nuclear power plant operators. A lot of heat is generated from nuclear fission and the heat is used to boil water to produce steam.
