You say in the plants - do you really mean on the power plant site? Within the plant there are many auxiliaries that take a supply from the generator output, so that the sent out load is reduced by this amount. The biggest load is probably the circulating water pumps that feed the primary and secondary circuits (in a PWR). Then there is all the control and instrumentation including computers, lighting, heating and ventilation plant, and many auxiliaries in the turbine house, including the water circulation for the turbine condenser.

What are nuclear power plants used for?
Used to produce electricity to power cities and towns
How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
What is the element used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants?
Urainium
What can Nuclear Power be used as?
Nuclear power is used to generate electricity.
What is nuclear power use for?
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
Is Pennsylvania currently using nuclear energy?
Yes. Currently, there are five nuclear power plants operating commercially in Pennsylvania to produce electricity. The use of power in a state is not restricted to power from generating plants within that state, so there is probably power from nuclear plants outside Pennsylvania being used there, and there is probably electricity generated in Pennsylvania that is used outside that state. But certainly, most of the electricity generated by the plants in Pennsylvania is used there.
What is application of nuclear science and technology?
In power production (i.e. production of electricity) in nuclear power plants. It is also used in curing cancer.
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.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Is generator used for nuclear energy?
Yes. Nuclear power plants make steam to drive generators, which supply electricity.
Do nuclear power plants make electricity from fossil fuel?
No. Nuclear power plants use a uranium to provide the heat to generate electricity from. By splitting the nuclei of uranium atoms (called nuclear fission), energy is released, which will be used for electricity generation. Uranium is a radioactive metal, not a fossil fuel.
Where is nuclear How and where it is used?
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
