No. Nuclear power plants use a uranium to provide the heat to generate electricity from. By splitting the nuclei of uranium atoms (called nuclear fission), energy is released, which will be used for electricity generation. Uranium is a radioactive metal, not a fossil fuel.

What are three advantages of nuclear power plants compared with power plants that burn fossil fuels?
Nuclear power plants don't emit greenhouse gases, need little fuel to generate a lot of power, and can produce electricity continuously.
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
Why should you build more nuclear power plants for electricity?
Because fossil fuels will run out. We need electricity in megawatt amounts. The only viable alternative is nuclear fuels.
Does Nuclear Power save energy?
Nuclear power plants generate electricity without burning fossil fuels, so do not release CO2, which causes climate change.
Compare a power plant that burns fossil fuels with a nuclear power plant?
Both power plants generate electricity, but a fossil fuel power plant burns coal, oil, or gas to produce heat that boils water into steam to drive a turbine, while a nuclear power plant uses nuclear reactions to heat water into steam. Nuclear plants produce no greenhouse gas emissions, while fossil fuel plants do. However, nuclear plants produce radioactive waste that needs to be safely managed for a long time.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
How do nuclear power plant owners generate revenue from their reactors?
By selling the electricity generated from the heat of the reactor. Same as fossil fuel power plants do, sell electricity generated from the heat of burning.
Is electricity from nuclear power the same as more powerful or radioactive compared to electrical energy from other power plants?
The electricity is exactly the same as from a fossil fired power station, generated from the same type of generator
What is the product of nuclear power plants?
Electricity.
What is product of nuclear power plants?
Electricity.
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
