Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?
It costs more to obtain the fuel
A boiling water nuclear reactor delivers what to the turbine blades?
Steam
How do you get electricity from nuclear energy?
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
How is electricity produced at a nuclear power plant?
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.
What is an example of the transfer from nuclear energy to mechanical energy?
Nuclear energy is used to boil water in order to produce steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine that can either be mechanically hooked up, i.e. the propeller on a nuclear submarine, or the turbine can be linked to a generator which then powers an electric motor.

How does nuclear fission spin a turbine?
The heat energy resulting from nuclear fission is used to produce steam that spins the turbine.
What we need to produce nuclear electricity?
steam turbine
What is the energy released from a nuclear power plant?
Electric. The nuclear energy produces heat, heat boils water, steam drives turbine, turbine makes electircity.
Is thermal energy found in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
What is the energy of nuclear power converted into?
Heat. Which is used to boil water which turns a turbine. The turbine generates electricity.
What part of a nuclear reactor produces the electricity from steam?
turbine
Why must the turbine spin for nuclear power?
To turn the generators.
What does a nuclear reactor do in a nuclear power plant?
You rip apart an atom which releases great energy in the form of heat. The energy causes water to evaporate which turns a turbine. The turning turbine creates electricity. This is how a nuclear reactor works.
How do you get energy from nuclear?
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
