To turn the generators.
A nuclear power plant does not directly provide the energy to spin a turbine. In a nuclear power plant, nuclear fission generates heat, which is then used to produce steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity.
The turbine in a nuclear power plant typically spins at around 3,600 revolutions per minute (RPM) to generate electricity efficiently. The high-speed rotation of the turbine is used to drive the generator that produces electricity.
Basically all electricity is generated by heating water that crates steam and makes a turbine spin. This is what is done with Coal by burning, and Hydro when you use a dam to spin a turbine. In nuclear power you use the strongest amount of heat we know to turn water into steam that spins a turbine and creates electricity. Nothing happens with the environment or anything freaky we just need to generate heat to spin a turbine and a nuclear power plant is a very low cost and low maintenance way of doing it since they go for hundreds of years producing the heat we need to spin turbines instead of using tons of coal to achieve the same process. Electricity is all about spinning a turbine
Nuclear power plants use steam to turn a turbine that is connected to a generator. The steam is produced by heat generated from the nuclear fission process within the reactor. As the steam passes through the turbine, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn rotates the generator to produce electricity.
Giant wheels called TURBINES are used to spin the magnets inside the generator. It takes a lot of energy to spin the turbine and different kinds of power plants get that energy from different sources. In a hydroelectric station, falling water is used to spin the turbine. In nuclear and fossil-fuelled generating stations, steam is used. A wind turbine uses the force of moving air.
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
Nuclear fuel - uranium - gets hot and brings water to boil. The steam makes a turbine spin, and the turbine makes an electric generator spin. Electricity from the generator is fed out onto the grid and into peoples homes.
Nuclear fission generates heat which is used to produce steam. The high-pressure steam spins a turbine by expanding through its blades. The turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy from the spinning turbine into electricity.
turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!
A nuclear power station uses heat given off by the controlled fission of enriched uranium. The heat is used to boil water, the steam blows through the vanes of a turbine, and the turbine spins an electrical generator.
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
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.
