What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
What nuclear reaction is used to the Bataan power plant?
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
the reactor vessel
What reaction generate thermal energy in a nuclear power plant as water is changed into steam?
fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission

The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a power plant?
Nuclear fission
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Reactions generate thermal energy in a nuclear power plant as water is changed into steam?
fission
What is the use of fission?
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
What type of reaction is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission, the splitting apart of the atom, is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear fusion, the joining together of two atoms to create electricity, has been tried, but, it only works for a few seconds at best, and it will not be a source of power until sometime in the distant future.
