The energy comes from the constant fissioning (splitting) of atoms within the nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium or plutonium. The energy is released as heat within the reactor, and boils water for the steam turbines that convert it to electricity.

What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What is the source of heat in a nuclear power plant?
The source of heat in a nuclear power plant is the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that hold nuclei together.
Does nuclear power plant generate carbondyoxyde?
The only source of vapor (by which the turbine is driven) in nuclear power plant is the nuclear energy (instead of burning out of fossile fuel).
Is there a net release of energy when an element splits?
Yes, this is the source of power in a nuclear power plant
Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?
The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.
What is the source of energy of a green plant?
The source of energy of plants is sunlight.
Why the nuclear power plant build?
Because the power plant is the source of electricity
Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
Are power plants an example of nuclear energy?
It depends on if its a nuclear power plant or not.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
