Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
Why does Europe and other countries like japan have more nuclear power plants campared to other types of power?
France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA. Not sure about Japan, but nuclear appeals there I think because they have little fossil fuels in the country. See www.world-nuclear.org for a more detailed survey.
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.
How can nuclear energy generate electricity for the home and industry?
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.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What actually produces the electricity in a nuclear power plant?
A conventional steam turbine driving a generator, no different to normal coal fired plants
How is nuclear energy supplied through the country?
I assume you mean in the USA? Nuclear energy is supplied as electricity. You can see the nuclear plants on a map in the link given below.
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.
What is the use of nuclear plants in industry?
The only use of nuclear plants in industry is the production of electricity.
What is the product of nuclear power plants?
