How do you get electricity from nuclear energy?
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
Is an oven thermal mechanical chemical electrical nuclear or electromagnetic energy?
It is nuclear energy
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
What kind of equipment is used to collect nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not collected, it is released and used. Most often the use is to boil water for a steam generator of electricity.
Does Thermal energy and nuclear energy relate?
Nuclear energy is released by every fissioning nucleus, about 200 Mev per fission. But as the fission fragments are slowed down and absorbed in the mass of the fuel rods, the nuclear energy is changed to thermal energy (heat) which can then be transferred to the reactor coolant and used for steam raising
How do you convert nuclear energy from nuclear reactor to electrical energy?
The heat produced it used to evaporate water which turns turbines on a generator.
How do you get energy from nuclear?
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
How do you get electricity from nuclear energy?

Is generator used in nuclear or solar energy?
Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.
Uses of heat?
Heat from nuclear energy is used to produce steam to drive a turbine/generator
Is an oven thermal mechanical chemical electrical nuclear or electromagnetic energy?
It is nuclear energy
Is thermal energy found in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical

How can you convert Electrical energy to nuclear energy?
A power plant generator

What is an example of the transfer from nuclear energy to mechanical energy?
Nuclear energy is used to boil water in order to produce steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine that can either be mechanically hooked up, i.e. the propeller on a nuclear submarine, or the turbine can be linked to a generator which then powers an electric motor.
