A nuclear power plant captures the energy released by the fission of the nuclei of uranium atoms and uses the released energy to boil water. The boiled water releases steam that spins a series of turbines as it rises. As each turbine spins, it generates power that is sent into the power grid. Fill in each blank with the correct term to correctly complete the sentences. You may use the same word more than once or not at all.

The uranium atoms contain 1. energy. When the atoms split this energy is 2.the 3.energy of the fission products and then 4.the water surrounding the core to produce steam. The energy in the steam is 5.the turbines that generate electricity used in people's homes.
