NUCLEAR 101: How Does a Nuclear Reactor Work?
https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nuclear-101-how-does-nuclear-reactor-work
“The main job of a reactor is to house and control nuclear fission—a process where atoms split and release energy.”
Smaller, safer, cheaper: One company aims to reinvent the nuclear reactor and save a warming planet
