Propulsion is a force that causes movement. The force can be caused by either a differential pressure, or a differential momentum (Newton's second law).
In the case of a jet engine, the exhaust velocities are much higher than the inlet velocities, causing a momentum thrust
The word is derived from two Latin words: promeaning before or forwards and pellere meaning to drive. Propulsion means to push forward or drive an object forward. A propulsion system is a machine that produces thrust to push an object forward. On airplanes, thrust is usually generated through some application of Newton's third law of action and reaction. A gas, or working fluid , is accelerated by the engine, and the reaction to this acceleration produces a force on the engine.
Basically any vehicle propelled by nuclear reactor, some more practical than others.
In the simplest terms, the nuclear reaction generates heat, which is used to generate steam, which turns a turbine that is geared to the propeller.
Nuclear power is used to generate electricity.
Nuclear energy is used for:propulsion (e.g. for submarines and ice breakers)process heat (e.g. for district heating and industry)electricity generationwater desalinationmaterial testingradioisotope productionresearch and trainingradiation medical treatment
A nuclear powered submarine uses nuclear power for propulsion and all other on-board activities that need power, like lighting, cooking and computers. This applies on all voyages not just in the Gulf of Mexico.
propulsion is when air pushes an airplane
Propulsion is a noun, not a verb. Only verbs have tenses.
Plutonium can be used in nuclear reactors for nuclear propulsion of ships and submarines.

Nuclear power is used to generate electricity.
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
