Oct 21, 2026 - How Nuclear Powers a Home


How does nuclear energy actually power your home? It starts with uranium and a process called nuclear fission, which produces heat inside a nuclear reactor. That heat is used to create steam, spin a turbine and power a generator that produces electricity.

From there, the electricity travels through transmission and distribution lines on the electric grid before ultimately reaching homes and businesses. In this video, we break down the journey from a tiny uranium fuel pellet all the way to the electricity you use every day.
