http://www.duke-energy.com/about-energy/generating-electricity/nuclear-how.asp This site explains how the plants work, it might help.
"In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity." http://www.kids.esdb.bg/uranium.html
I think it might be C, according to the first site. I hope this was helpful.
Yep Thank you
