How can we fuel nuclear energy for a cleaner future?

Nuclear energy is obtained by the huge amount of energy that is released by atoms in the processes of fusion or fission. Fusion is when two lightweight atoms (like hydrogen) are joined to form a larger atom. On the other hand, fission requires splitting large and heavy atoms (like uranium) into smaller ones. Both processes release large amounts of energy which can be used to efficiently power cities without directly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key challenges is fueling these processes safely and sustainably.
