Can any source of energy be pollution free?
In hydro power or solar power the energy source is pollution free but the process of manufacturing and building the plant is not of course.
Why the nuclear power plant build?
Because the power plant is the source of electricity
Where does excess steam in a geothermal power plant go?
Generally, any excess bum fluff as an energy source is vented to a furnace, but most of this excess steam is utilized , redirected , as a smelly source.
How does a diesel power plant works?
A diesel powerplant uses the diesel power cycle for energy generation. A diesel power plant is one using a diesel engine to run a generator coupled to it. A generator produces power when it rotates.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
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.
The energy in uranium is used to make electricity in a nuclear power plant. How is the energy stored in uranium?
in the nucleus
What kind of energy do we use for uranium in use in the fusion power plant?
Uranium has stored energy (potential energy), more specifically, nuclear energy.
Which two substances provide most of the energy for a nuclear power plant?
Uranium and plutonium
What is the main source of energy use by the power plant?
Thermal energy
How is uranium used in a power plant?
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
What is the abundant energy source in Switzerland?
The hydro-electric power plant/water power plant
What kind of energy source is the solar power plant?
Sun is the source of solar energy. Heat is present in solar energy.
What does a nuclear power plant work off?
The energy released in nuclear fission, mainly of uranium-235
What is the energy source in a nuclear power plant?
The energy comes from the constant fissioning (splitting) of atoms within the nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium or plutonium. The energy is released as heat within the reactor, and boils water for the steam turbines that convert it to electricity.
Fuel source for a nuclear power plant?
Normally Uranium enriched to about 4 percent U-235, in the form UO2
Can any source of energy be pollution free?
In hydro power or solar power the energy source is pollution free but the process of manufacturing and building the plant is not of course.
