What type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
How much energy can a nuclear power plant can produce in an hour?
It depends upon the rating of the plant. A typical plant will produce around 1100 megawatts per hour.
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
Does nuclear energy produce a lot of waste?
Yes; the average nuclear power plant yields about 3 tons of radioactive waste each year.
What is the difference between a nuclear power plant and a thermoelectric power plant?
A nuclear power plant uses thermal energy from a nuclear reactor to produce steam and drive a turbine/generator, and often has a capacity of more than 1000MWe from one reactor. I don't think there are any thermoelectric power plants, but small arrays of thermocouple devices are sometimes used to produce small amounts of power for instruments, usually in space vehicles with a radioactive source providing the thermal input.
What gases do power plants let off?
It depends what type of power plant. A coal-burning power plant will produce CO2 and SO2, which are both pollutants. Nuclear power plants and geothermal power plants produce steam, which is not a pollutant. There are many other types of power plants, but most produce CO2 and SO2 or steam.
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
What are the uses of a nuclear power plant?
To produce electricity
Does a nuclear power plant produces electricity?
Yes, nuclear power plants produce electric power (electricity).
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
What is a nuclear powerstation?
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
What useful type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
Electricity.
How much power does a nuclear plant produce?
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
If wastewater from a nuclear power plant raises the temperature of a nearby body of water the concentration of biologic pollutants in the water will most likely?
increases
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
How much energy can a nuclear power plant can produce in an hour?
It depends upon the rating of the plant. A typical plant will produce around 1100 megawatts per hour.
