**Energy Source and Usage Diagram**

This diagram provides a visual representation of the distribution of energy sources relative to user sectors. It illustrates the flow from various energy sources to their respective user sectors, denoted in percentages.

**Sources (Percentage of Total Energy Supply):**
1. **Oil (36%)**
2. **Natural Gas (27%)**
3. **Coal (19%)**
4. **Renewable Energy (10%)**
5. **Nuclear Electric Power (8%)**

**User Sectors (Percentage of Total Energy Use):**
1. **Transportation (28%)**
2. **Industrial (22%)**
3. **Residential and Commercial (11%)**
4. **Electric Power (39%)**

**Connections and Percentages:**
- Oil flows primarily to Transportation (71%) and Industrial (25%) sectors.
- Natural Gas is quite diversified with significant portions going to Industrial (40%) and Residential/Commercial (42%) sectors.
- Coal is mainly directed towards Electric Power (91%).
- Renewable Energy is largely used for Electric Power (52%).
- Nuclear Electric Power is entirely directed towards Electric Power (100%).

**Question:**
What percentage of electric power generation comes from nuclear sources?

**Choices:**
- a. 1
- b. 39
- c. 100
- d. 22

The correct answer is **c. 100**, indicating that 100% of nuclear electric power goes to the electric power sector.
