you can use solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen, or thermal energy
No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.
Solar power, nuclear power and generators
Japan uses nuclear power for energy instead of items such as coal and fossil fuels.
Japan has nuclear power plants for the same reason that other countries have them - they need the power - and nuclear power has the lowest impact of all the various other options. It also happens that Japan is limited for space, having a large population in comparison to their land area. Nuclear power has a low requirement for infrastructure, such as oil or gas pipelines, transfer facilities for coal, etc. and it has a high density of output compared to real estate.
The only source of vapor (by which the turbine is driven) in nuclear power plant is the nuclear energy (instead of burning out of fossile fuel).
Nuclear energy as obtained in nuclear reactor power plants comes from the fission or splitting of the nuclei of uranium and plutonium. It is not a chemical burning process and does not need any other elements to make it happen.
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
nuclear power makes hot water which turns into steam. instead of turbine how about a generator..
Other than what?
There are solar power, hydro power, geothermal power, nuclear power, gasohol, and biomass
Nuclear power is currently the safest, most efficient way of producing power. Fossil fuels such as coal and oil damage the environment whilst solar power and wind power hasn't soared yet. A replacement for nuclear power may be hydrogen fuel cells from water but this would not be as efficient as nuclear power.
