The fission process is used to create heat, which boils water inside the
nuclear reactor. The steam that boiling the water makes is used to turn
turbines, which in turn, generate electricity. Fission happens inside a

plant. The fission process that nuclear power plants use spends
approximately 30,000 tons of highly radioactive waste a year.
