Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused to
rotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced in
the generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of the
Electricity Board.
In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,
steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, the
steam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
What else can I help you with?
What is the source of nuclear power station?
They supply the electricity companies who supply your house or business
What is the payback time of nuclear power stations?
The payback time for nuclear power stations varies depending on factors such as construction costs, operating expenses, and maintenance costs. Generally, it can range from 10 to 20 years. However, nuclear power stations have a long operational lifespan, so they can generate electricity for many years once the initial investment is recouped.
What pollution is produced in nuclear power stations?
Nuclear power stations produce nuclear waste. This waste can be radioactive and pose risks to human health and the environment if not properly managed and disposed of. Additionally, some emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants can be produced during the mining, milling, and enrichment of the fuel used in nuclear power plants.
