Reply to comment by BrokenEye3 in TIL that in 1968 the US Navy proposed turning 2/5ths of Wisconsin into a giant underground radio antenna so orders could still be sent to submarines following a nuclear attack on America by DeadForDecember

It's Nuclear, Nuculear is not a word. >Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants. Nuclear decay processes are used in niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators in some space probes such as Voyager 2. Generating electricity from fusion power remains the focus of international research.
