Lead Section Editing

I am currently going through and adding in links to other Wikipedia pages. While I was doing this I noticed an ambiguous statement in the lead:

Power plant engineering is a subset of power engineering which is only concerned with the generation of electric power and not necessarily the setting in which the energy is created.

What is exactly meant by this? What does the bold which stand for? Does it describe Power plant engineering or Power engineering? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bomeyerncsu (talk • contribs) 00:45, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Citations

After looking through the page, I have backed up a number of the statements. I was wondering if anyone could provide a source for any of the remaining flagged sections? They don't seem to be vital and can be removed if no citations can be provided. We should probably have decided by this evening.Bomeyerncsu (talk) 17:58, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I got the remaining flag information covered. I'll add some additional information regarding some of the topics because some of it is still loose. jjpark3 —Preceding undated comment added 20:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Factual error

I don't think this is true:

> "... it forces uranium atoms together at an unimaginable pressure"

The chain reaction is by neutrons entering atomic nuclei. Uranium is not involved in fusion (but in fission).
