One of the problems with nuclear energy is the potential harm caused by nuclear radiation emitted by the materials used to generate power, such as uranium and plutonium. how is the potentially dangerous radiation harnessed to make electricity?

Because liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.

Hoped that help :)
