Basically all electricity is generated by heating water that crates steam and makes a turbine spin.
This is what is done with Coal by burning, and Hydro when you use a dam to spin a turbine.
In nuclear power you use the strongest amount of heat we know to turn water into steam that spins a turbine and creates electricity. Nothing happens with the environment or anything freaky we just need to generate heat to spin a turbine and a nuclear power plant is a very low cost and low maintenance way of doing it since they go for hundreds of years producing the heat we need to spin turbines instead of using tons of coal to achieve the same process.
Electricity is all about spinning a turbine
What else can I help you with?
What country which is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and which has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power is?
France is the country that is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power. Nuclear power accounts for around 70% of the electricity generated in France.
Is it legal to build a nuclear power plant in the US?
It is legal to build a nuclear power plant in the U. S., provided the licenses and permits are granted.
What country has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power?
France has 75 percent, that is the highest
Is nuclear power dangerous to humans?
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.
Which countries operate commercial nuclear reactors?

Who provides nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is typically provided by government-controlled entities or private companies that own and operate nuclear power plants. These entities produce electricity by using nuclear reactions to generate heat, which then drives turbines connected to generators. Examples include companies like Exelon, EDF, and Tokyo Electric Power Company.
What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
What was used to power mills at Lowell?
The power for the machines in the mill is provided by nuclear energy. Diesel may be used as fuel or some may use electric current to power the mill machines.
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Is nuclear power biology?
No. Nuclear power is not based on biology. It is based on nuclear physics.
What does the city have to do to switch to nuclear energy?
Only the electricity supply company can decide whether to use nuclear power or some other source. The consumer, whether a city or an individual, can only use what is provided.
