Question

1. Nuclear energy is generated through nüclear fission When an atom's nucleus splits of releenes an enormous amount of energy and shoots its own neutrons out, splitting other atoms if left unchecked, the result is a nuclear explosion, if controlled, the energy can be very useful, in a noclear porver plant, for example, the energy created is used to boil water, which is then used to tum electric turbines and produce electricity. Because it doesn't create any fossil fuel byproducts, nuclear energy is considered clean power source
Nuclear energy can also be used to create weapons in 1939, two years before the US entered World War Albert Einstein informed President Franklin D. Roosevelt that a new type of bomb could be built-one with the power of 20.000 tons of TNT, an explosive similar to dynamite. Roosevelt created the Manhattan Project to build an atomic bomb, and after his death in 1945, President Harry Truman took over the seost Initiative, Later that year, as the war in Europe ended, Japanese forces refused to surrender. Truman ordered that the new atomic bombs be dropped on Japan. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasak killed more than 120,000 people. Japan surrendered days later
Based on the passage, riuclear energy
A is found only in weapons.
C. has never been used in war efforts
B. is used to generate electricity.
D. releases fossil fuel byproducts into the atmosphere

Answer 1

Based on the passage, the correct option is:

**B. is used to generate electricity.**

The passage describes how nuclear energy is generated and its use in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. Options A, C, and D do not accurately reflect the information provided in the passage.
