The fissioning of uranium and plutonium nuclei releases energy as heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive conventional turbine/generators.
A nuclear power station is a power plant that uses nuclear fission to heat water that turns turbines to create electricity.
Chapelcross nuclear power station was created in 1959.
Chapelcross nuclear power station ended in 2004.
Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station was created in 2013.
Koeberg Nuclear Power Station was created in 1985.
Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station was created in 1983.
Sanmen Nuclear Power Station was created in 2013.
Wylfa Nuclear Power Station was created in 1971.
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
Fission is the process that produces heat in a nuclear power station
wind power
No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
