The cost of power per Kwh from nuclear plants is now reckoned to be similar to fossil fuelled plants. The makeup of the costs is different however. Fossil fuelled plants are cheaper to build, but the fuel costs are higher, so it is always a difficult one for a power company to decide. See the link below.
What else can I help you with?
What process do nuclear power plants use produce energy?
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.
What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
What element is uesd in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is the primary element used in nuclear power plants for its ability to undergo nuclear fission and produce energy.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
What process do nuclear power plants use to produce energy?
Nuclear power plants produce energy through nuclear fission, which involves splitting atoms of uranium in a controlled chain reaction. This process generates heat that is used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. Nuclear energy is a low-carbon source of power but comes with risks related to radioactive waste and safety concerns.
What mehod use to produce buclear energy in power plants?
Assuming you mean "nuclear energy": power plants don't produce it, they use it.
What are nuclear power plants used for?
Used to produce electricity to power cities and towns
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Yes, nuclear energy is the electricity generated by nuclear power plants through nuclear reactions. Nuclear fuel, on the other hand, is the material such as uranium or plutonium that undergoes fission to produce the energy in nuclear power plants.
Two that produce the most energy?
Nuclear and fossil fuel power plants are currently the two energy sources that produce the most energy. Nuclear power plants rely on nuclear reactions to generate electricity, while fossil fuel power plants burn coal, oil, or natural gas to produce electricity.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
Do nuclear power plants produce whit or black smoke?
black smoke.
