Most people know that nuclear reactors exist around the world, but few people know how they work. I looked into it and was very surprised to know that the reactors simply create fission in Uranium-235, use the heat generated to turn water into steam and use it to turn a turbine. (very primitive)
What i really don't get why they don't use the gamma radiation for power as well. when a gamma ray interacts with an electron, it causes it to separate from the atom. why don't scientist use these electrons to create additional power?
