How does nuclear energy become electricity?
Updated AnswerNuclear energy in the form of uranium primary energy source is transformed into electrical energy as secondary energy source (or energy carrier) through the following steps:uranium mininguranium milling (concentration and purification)uranium conversion (into metal uranium, uranium dioxide, uranium hexaflouride, etc...)uranium enrichment (only for nuclear reactors that require uranium enriched in U-235)uranium fabrication into what is called fresh nuclear fuel assemblies (or elements or bundles or rods)loading the nuclear fuel in the nuclear reactor of the nuclear power plantthe nuclear fuel, through its irradiation in the nuclear reactor, undergoes nuclear fission and produces thermal energy (heat)the heat (or thermal energy) is extracted in the reactor coolant system and used in a turbo-electric generator system to produce electricity.The used (or called spent) fuel is then replaced by new fuel to continue the electricity generation process.The discharged nuclear fuel (called spent or used fuel) after being irradiated in the nuclear reactor) and taken out from the reactor is temporarily stored to get rid of its major part of its decay heat and level of radioactivity. Then either: reprocessed for reuse of the remaining uranium and the produced plutonium in the fuel during fuel irradiation in the reactor, ordisposed of in a final disposal/storage installation.AnswerNuclear presents in the form of heat. The heat is used to make steam. The steam motivates a steam turbine which works a generator.
How does uranium affect people?
Uranium is a pollutant, toxic and radioactive. Human exposure (and also the exposure of all living beings) to uranium is dangerous without precautions. The effect of uranium depends on concentration, quantity, chemical and physical form, isotopes, etc.
What are the disadvantages of Uranium?
Uranium is radioactive, and contamination of water, air or the human system can be fatal or permanently mutate a person or living animal's body, therefore, it is advised not to use uranium and instead use some safer resource.
What is the best way to destroy a game system?
Your going to need a nuclear reactor, a suiaidal person, and a town full of willing or willing people. First, stick the game console were the uranium should be
How many years of experience do you need to become a nuclear reactor system engineer?
my cousin became a nuclear reactor engineer and he said it was about 12 years
What is the source of energy in nuclear reactor?
The source of energy in a nuclear reactor is the release of binding energy, i.e. the binding energy that hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the atom. Heavy nuclides, such as uranium, are split into lighter nuclides, such as cesium and barium (and many others, in a semi-random cross section). The binding energy required to hold the original uranium together is less than the daughter products and is released to the system in the form of heat and other radiation.

What is reactors?
A nuclear reactor is an assembly of fuel elements (uranium usually), a moderator which can be ordinary water, heavy water, or graphite, and control rods. The reactor is made to reach criticality when uranium fuel will produce a steady power output as a result of nuclear fissions which release heat. The heat is used to produce steam which feeds a conventional steam turbine/generating unit.
How was the nuclear reactor invented?
1933, Leo Szilard invented the neutron chain reaction while crossing a London street.1934, Leo Szilard patented the chain reaction and the reactor and bomb based on that reaction.1942, Enrico Fermi constructed the first working nuclear reactor, CP-1, using uranium as fuel in a graphite matrix as moderator. CP-1 had no cooling system because its maximum operating power was only 0.5 watts.
What to do when system reads fault red?
We need to know what kind of system. Is it your computer, your wrist watch, or a nuclear reactor?
Can you increase the thermal power of a nuclear reactor without changing the core of the reactor?
Yes, we can increase the thermal power of a nuclear reactor without changing the core of the reactor; primarily by:increasing the coolant mass flow rate,modifying the control rod patterns, andupgrading the turbo generator system
What are the most important parts of a nuclear plant?
reactor, steam turbine, and a (hopefully working) cooling system.
Who invented nuclear reactors?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933 and patented it in 1934 (GB630726 granted in 1936), but could not try building one as no material suitable as fuel for it was known at the time. Enrico Fermi built and operated the first prototype nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942 using uranium as fuel and graphite as moderator (there was no cooling system as the design operating power of CP-1 was only 0.5W). Later on the Manhattan Project several patents on nuclear reactors were filed by Szilard, Fermi, and others both singly and with multiple names.
What are nuclear power reactors and reprocessing plants?
In simple terms:Nuclear power reactor is an installation where nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission process resulting in thermal energy production. this thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy through electric generators.Reprocessing plant is an installation where its feed (or input) is the irradiated nuclear fuel (called used fuel or spent fuel) that is discharged from the nuclear reactor. This fuel after successive mechanical and chemical processes is separated into uranium and plutonium (for reuse again) and radioactive waste to be disposed of using specific techniques according to their physical form and radioactivity level.
