They are a lot more energy-producing; they produced millions of watts of power in a short time, whereas wind* turbines make comparatively nothing. The problem with nuclear power is the waste. Nuclear waste takes millions of years to decay, and is very dangerous, so must be stored in bug barrels underground. This is fine until we run out fo space for them. Wind turbines on the other hand; once they are up and running they take up no more space.
What else can I help you with?
What is nuclear power use for?
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.
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
Yes, nuclear power stations are generally more efficient than coal power stations, as they can generate more electricity with the same amount of fuel. Nuclear power produces less waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal power.
What is the source of power for turbines in electrical power stations?
Turbines are driven by steam so it is thermodynamic energy, but that can be created by burning fossil fuels or by nuclear fission
What turns in power stations to produce electricity?
In most power stations, turbines are used to produce electricity. These turbines are connected to generators, which convert mechanical energy from the turning motion into electrical energy. The turbines are typically spun by steam produced by heating water with fuels like coal, natural gas, or nuclear reactions.
What is the source of nuclear power station?
They supply the electricity companies who supply your house or business
What is the problem with replacing all your coal and nuclear power stations with wind turbines?
Problem is there just isn't enough wind, and also it is unreliable.
What process releases energy in nuclear power stations?
Nuclear fission is the process that releases energy in nuclear power stations. During fission, atoms of uranium or plutonium are split, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.
How is energy produced in nuclear power stations?
In nuclear power stations, energy is produced through a process called nuclear fission. This involves splitting atoms of uranium or other radioactive materials, releasing a large amount of heat energy. The heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity.
When was Sizewell nuclear power stations created?
Sizewell nuclear power stations was created in 1995.
How efficient are thermal power stations?
Coal fired plants about 40 percent, nuclear reactors (PWR) about 33 percent
In Australia what is the source of power for turbines in most electrical power stations?
hellow
Where are turbines most found?
Power stations, hydro electric schemes, aircraft engines, wind turbines.
