| Nuclear power is an alternative setup for endgame power generation, trading a much more complex setup for increased energy density compared to conventional burner power. It might refer also to the [[Nuclear power (reasearch)|technology]], or the overal workings of extraction and processing of [[uranium-235]] and [[uranium-238]].

| == Electric power generation ==
| |
| | |
| In general, nuclear power is produced by mining [[uranium ore]], [[Uranium processing|processing]] it to [[uranium-235]] and [[uranium-238]] and creating [[uranium fuel cell]]s from the two. These fuel cells are then burned in a [[nuclear reactor]] to create heat. The heat can be used to convert [[water]] to [[steam]] using a [[heat exchanger]] and the steam can be consumed by [[steam turbine]]s to produce power. For more info, see [[Tutorial:Nuclear power]].
