What does hot water that is produced by electric power plants and released into rivers and streams cause?
Thermal pollution, you boob
How do nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution?
Nuclear power plants do not cause thermal polution.
Air pollution due to thermal power plant?
yes thermal power plants cause air pollution by the release of CO , SO2 , NO2 and SPM...
How is electronics used in thermal power plants?
Electronics are used in thermal power plants when the power from the thermal power plants are transferred to a storage source. There, electronics comes in.
What are the thermal power plants in india?
thermal power plants are located in Orissa and Kerala.
What does air pollution come from?

What pollution is produced by a wave power station?
No pollution.
What are some of the sources of thermal pollution?
deforestation, waste heat generated from electric power plants and run-off stemming from hot paved surfaces
What pollution is produced in nuclear power stations?
Air pollution
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
How much nuclear waste is produced a year?
Very little, the main pollution generated by a properly functioning nuclear power plant is thermal pollution (i.e. heat that would not normally be present otherwise).
