In a nuclear power plant, heat is created by nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, a uranium atom is split, and incredible heat, light, and radioactive energy is released. The heat is used to boil water, and the steam from that water turns a turbine which produces electricity.
Heat from nuclear fission is used to generate steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. This process is utilized in nuclear power plants to provide a significant proportion of the world's electricity.
In a nuclear reactor, the controlled splitting of atoms (nuclear fission) generates heat, which is used to produce steam from water. The steam then drives turbines that are connected to generators, producing electricity. The process essentially harnesses the heat energy released during nuclear fission to produce electricity.
In a nuclear plant, the heat generated by fission is used to heat water to produce steam; the steam then drives a turbine which turns a generator.
Nuclear fission generates heat which is used to produce steam. The high-pressure steam spins a turbine by expanding through its blades. The turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy from the spinning turbine into electricity.
True. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which then creates steam. This steam drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.

The process is called nuclear fission, in which the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines in nuclear power plants.
Uranium undergoes nuclear fission in a controlled process in nuclear reactors. This fission process releases a large amount of heat energy, which is then used to generate steam. The steam drives turbines that are connected to generators, producing electricity.
A nuclear power plant does not directly provide the energy to spin a turbine. In a nuclear power plant, nuclear fission generates heat, which is then used to produce steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity.
A nuclear reactor has basically one useful product that we can apply, and that's heat. We generally pump the primary coolant, which is heated by nuclear fission, through a steam generator. There, the heat of the primary coolant is picked up by the secondary water, and that water is turned into steam. The steam is then used to drive conventional steam turbines.
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
