How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
Which nuclear reaction is currently used to generate electrical energy?
The fission of uranium 235, which produces heat
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
Should nuclear energy be used to generate power?
It can be used to generate power but it is very dangerous yet little nuclear energy can generate ALOT of power.
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission
What is a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission, the splitting of heavy atoms into lighter ones.
What are the example of nuclear force?
The energy released when a nuclear power plant generates heat to generate steam to generate electricity. The energy released when a nuclear weapon detonates.
What process releases the energy that is used in nuclear power plants to generate electrical energy?
It is nuclear fission
How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
What are thermonuclear plants?
Thermonuclear plants are power stations. They use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat. This boils water to generate steam, which turns the turbines to generate electricity.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
How many other coal plants would it take to replace nuclear plants?
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
How does nuclear energy change to electrical energy?
The neutrons from the radioactive decay process heats up water, which then turns to steam. The steam under pressure will force a turbine around, which will generate electricity.
What is the name of the process that nuclear power stations use to generate power?
Nuclear Reaction: A Nuclear reaction in the nuclear core generates great amounts of energy in the form of heat. This energy is used to heat up water to steam to drive a steam turbine engine which generates rotary motion to a shaft which is mechanically connected to turn an Alternator which generates the electrical power.
Why us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
