Nuclear power plants primarily utilize nuclear fission of heavy elements like Uranium or Plutonium to produce energy. While nuclear fusion is the source of energy in stars and a potential future energy source on Earth, current commercial nuclear power is based on fission. The relationship between the mass deficit and the energy released in nuclear reactions is described by Albert Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence principle, E=mc².
