What are the different steps needed to produce the fuel used in Nuclear Power plants?

Answer 1

The nuclear reactor itself is designed to start and sustain a nuclear chain reaction with some radioactive material, which is a constant supply of energy via heat. This heat is then used to power steam turbines, which power the generators that create the electricity.

Answer 2

You need to find Uranium and once you mine it, the Uranium 235 mnust be extracted and processed before it can be used as fuel. Once it is extracted fission will take place and the nuclei will split conducting energy or power. ;)

Answer 3

-- In a steel can, put together some kind of a pile of uranium that can get hot

without exploding.

-- Pump water through pipes around the can, to take the heat away from the uranium.

-- Pump the water slow enough so that it gets really hot, like it's ready to boil.

-- As soon as it comes out of the pipe and starts boiling, have another pipe there

for the steam to boil into.

-- Blow the steam through the vanes of a turbine that's hooked up to an electric generator.

When the steam turns it, it generates electricity.
