Nuclear power is any nuclear energy designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reaction. The only method in use today produces power via nuclear fission, though other methods might one day include nuclear fusion and radioactive decay. All utility-scale reactors heat water to produce steam, which is then converted into mechanical work for the purpose of generating electricity or propulation. In 2007, 14% of the world's electricity came from nuclear power. Also, more than 150 nuclear-powered naval vessels have been built, and a few radioisotope rocket have been produced.
