The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.

∙ 11y agoa hydro power plant uses water and generators to generate electricity, hydroelectric Dam , a nuclear power plant uses fission and residual heat to generate steam which is used to turn turbine generators. the only resemblance is they both generate electricity

∙ 11y agoThe difference between a nuclear power station and a fossil fuel power station is primarily the source of heat. The nuclear power station uses a nuclear reactor to generate heat, while the fossil fuel power station uses coal or natural gas to generate heat. A secondary difference between the two is that the fossil fuel power station is a high pressure steam cycle, while the nuclear power station is a medium pressure steam cycle. Other than that, the two are very similar.

How does gas fired power station works?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
