A conventional steam turbine driving a generator, no different to normal coal fired plants
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
By generating electricity.
That's true.
Electricity, but there is a risk of radioactive leakage.
It produces no electricity
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
the heavy-metalic-electricity-producing machine
a nuclear power plant produces electricity from uranium 235
Nuclear fission produces heat energy that produces steam The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
It Powers the Huge turbine that produces electricity.
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
The steam turbines (which use the steam produced by the hot nuclear pile).
A nuclear powerplant is a Thermal powerstation that uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The method: A nuclear fission or fusion reaction happens which produces up to 650 to 700 Degrees Of heat when controlled. This massive amount of heat is then open to massive amounts of water that produces steam which in turn the turbines that produces up to 10,000 Mega Watts of electricity.
In a nuclear plant, the heat generated by fission is used to heat water to produce steam; the steam then drives a turbine which turns a generator.
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
This is done in nuclear power plants, the heart of which is a nuclear reactor which produces heat from nuclear fission, this heat then produces steam and hence electricity in a similar way to a fossil fired plant. there are over 100 such reactors in the US, and others in Canada, UK, France, Russia, Japan, and other countries.
