What types of pollution do nuclear power plant produce?
In theory a nuke power plant produces no pollution. It is 100% clean energy. Though pollution from the waste is a big problem and is sometimes dumped in the environment causing pollution such as radiation and poisonous chemicals.
Is noise pollution a possible negative effect of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy itself, in a nuclear reactor, does not produce noise. The associated steam turbine plant will produce some noise, but probably not much outside the plant boundaries. The exception would be when a turbine has suddenly shutdown and steam has to be blown off for a while, that would probably be heard for a mile or two.
What to draw as an example of nuclear energy?
Have them study the after affects of the Japan tsunami that wrecked the Fukishima Daiichi nuclear energy plant and the pollution it released that has a half-life of 500,000 years.
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
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.
Nuclear power plant are designed to convert nuclear energy into what type of energy?
Electrical energy
Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
What kind of factories is a major cause of thermal pollution?
nuclear power plant
How is nuclear energy changed into electrical energy in a nuclear power plant?
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
What produces nuclear energy everyday?
A commercial nuclear power plant
Does nuclear power pollute?
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
