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 do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
What are nuclear power plants used for?
Used to produce electricity to power cities and towns
What is the element used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is the element used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. The process, known as nuclear fission, involves splitting uranium atoms to release energy in the form of heat, which is then 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 generator used for nuclear energy?
Yes, a generator is used in nuclear power plants to convert the heat produced by nuclear reactions into electricity. The heat is used to create steam, which drives turbines connected to the generator to produce electricity.
What can Nuclear Power be used as?
Nuclear power can be used as a source of electricity generation in power plants. It can also be used for powering naval vessels, such as submarines and aircraft carriers, through nuclear propulsion systems. Additionally, nuclear power can be utilized in research and medical applications, such as cancer treatment and radiography.
What elements can be used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium and plutonium are the most commonly used elements in nuclear power plants. These elements undergo nuclear fission, releasing energy in the form of heat, which is then used to produce electricity.
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.
Where is the nuclear energy used?
In nuclear power plants, producing electricity
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.
Which substance i is a fuel used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is the most common fuel used in nuclear power plants. Specifically, uranium-235 is the isotope that is commonly used for nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
