The energy of nuclear power comes from the binding energy that holds an atomic nucleus together. A heavy nucleus, usually uranium-235, splits into two smaller nuclei and releases three neutrons. These new nuclei have less binding energy than the original, and the excess energy is released as heat.

What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Does the nuclear power include oil?
No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear power plants, of which there are many.
What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
What is harnessing nuclear energy?
Nuclear Power
Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
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.
How does nuclear power do?
Nuclear power works by splitting open nuclear atoms. The energy escapes and opens up more nuclear atoms. The scientists use this energy to power homes and appliances.
Nuclear power plant are designed to convert nuclear energy into what type of energy?
Electrical energy
What is an example of converting Nuclear energy to electromagnetic energy in an energy transformation?
In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is used to heat water to make steam which can be used to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators. A lot of electric power comes from nuclear power plants.
Are power plants an example of nuclear energy?
It depends on if its a nuclear power plant or not.
