Three states that use nuclear power for electricity?
See www.nrc.gov for a list of all US states with nuclear power plants
How do Nuclear Power plants help us?
By producing electricity, which we all use, and not producing carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
What is the energy from nuclear power plants used for?
The energy from nuclear power plants is used as heat to boil water and make steam the turns turbines to generate electricity. The electricity is distributed through the power grid and powers all sorts of things from light bulbs, computers, and televisions to heavy equipment.
What kind of energy is produced by electrical power plant?
Energy leaves power plants in the form of AC electricity. There are many types of power plants, but almost all nonrenewable power plants involve the heating of water, then the conversion of that heat energy into kinetic energy through steam, which then spins a turbine to convert that kinetic energy into electric energy, which then leaves the plant through transmission lines.
How fast does nuclear power produce electricity?
With a nuclear reactor running at operating temperature and with all the associated systems on line, the reactor can increase its power output in seconds to accommodate a larger demand for electric power. If we have to start up the reactor and warm up all the steam lines and such, it takes longer to begin to generate electricity. Nuclear power generator plants generate heat, which heats a closed circulating liquid that is radioactive. That heat is transferred to another liquid, which is not radioactive, is converted to steam, which turns turbine generators which generates electricity. Once everything is up and running, it all happens at a fast rate. A much less efficient method, but quicker and less complicated, directs the nuclear plants heat to thermocouples or some similar technology to generate electricity immediately.
What does a generator serve in a power plant?
All power plants use a fuel to heat up water( except hydroelectric powerplants), to create stream. The steam turns the turbine/generators to make the electricity.
What purpose does a generator serve in a power plant?
All power plants use a fuel to heat up water( except hydroelectric powerplants), to create stream. The steam turns the turbine/generators to make the electricity.
Give 10 power plants that produce electricity?
See www.nrc.gov for a list of all the nuclear plants in the US
The kind of electricity from the power plant is called?
There are only two kinds of electricity, direct current and alternating current. All power plants now produce alternating current
Three states that use nuclear power for electricity?
See www.nrc.gov for a list of all US states with nuclear power plants
How power plant produce electricity?
in all power plants, energy is transferred into rotational kinetic energy that turns the generator's turbine. Generator produces electricity by the mean of electromagnetic induction
How do Nuclear Power plants help us?
By producing electricity, which we all use, and not producing carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
How coal is used to make electricity?
Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.
What is the energy from nuclear power plants used for?

What is the name of the power plant that provides electricity at your home?
The power at most people homes come from a grid that connects all the power plants in the system with all the users like houses, factories etc. All the power plants contribute power, all the users take power out. You can say that most of the power in your house comes from the nearest power plant, but if it shuts down for some reason you just pick up power from other plants without knowing it.
What can electricity from solar power be used for?
Electricity from solar power is the same as electricity from a coal-burning power plant. It's all the same, and it can be used to power anything that runs on electricity.
Why you celebrate earth hour?
Earth Hour is not exactly a "celebration", it's more like a tradition. If lots of people turned off all of the power-running electricity in their house, a lot of power will be saved. >To create awareness for saving electricity.
