Nuclear reactors should not be used to generate electricity?
False. Nuclear power is used to generate about 25% of the electricity in the United States, and about 75% of the electricity in France. Nuclear power is far safer than coal-fired power plants, and produces no harmful emissions, if you care about such things.
The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity is what?
The use of nuclear power
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?
You probably mean France
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
What is the element used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants?
Urainium
Why was nuclear power plants invented in the first place?
to generate electricity.
How does Canada use its uranium?
Fabrication of nuclear fuels to generate electricity in nuclear power reactors.
What is nuclear power use for?
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
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.
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 type of reaction is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission, the splitting apart of the atom, is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear fusion, the joining together of two atoms to create electricity, has been tried, but, it only works for a few seconds at best, and it will not be a source of power until sometime in the distant future.
To generate electricity nuclear power plants produce?
Heat by fission in a nuclear reactor, that is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. There are 435 nuclear power reactors in operation operating in 31 countries as of April, 2014.
