Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.

Do battery-driven cars cause pollution?

Depends on where you get the electricity to recharge the batteries. If the electricity is produced in a hydro-electric plant then there is almost no pollution. If the electricity comes from a nuclear power plant then you have nuclear waste. If the electricity comes from a coal-fired plant that you do have pollution from the burning of coal.


What turns the turbine in a nuclear power plant?

In a nuclear power plant, the turbine is turned by steam produced by the heat generated from nuclear fission in the reactor core. The steam drives the turbine which then rotates a generator to produce electricity.
