The nuclear fission results in mass loss (called mass defect) that transforms into energy according to the formula: E = mc2 (c is light velocity). This energy manifests itself as heat energy.

Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?

Nuclear energy is produced in the core of a nuclear reactor, where controlled nuclear fission reactions occur. These reactions release heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.


How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?

In a nuclear reactor, nuclear reactions create heat by splitting atoms or combining them. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator. The generator then converts mechanical energy into electricity that can be distributed to power homes and businesses.


What is the examples of energy produce nuclear reactor?

If you mean energy produced by nuclear reactors, then "heat" and "light" would be the answers (Just think of the sun)


How do you convert nuclear energy from nuclear reactor to electrical energy?

The heat produced it used to evaporate water which turns turbines on a generator.


How electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor?

In a nuclear reactor, electricity is produced through a process called nuclear fission. This process involves splitting uranium atoms, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity.


How is the heat produced in a nuclear reactor changed into useful energy?

Heat produced I'm a nuclear reactor turns water into steam that moves a massive turbine that my moving, produces energy. Water is then cooled and heated again to produce steam. Process keeps respecting itself.


What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?

simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.


How many watts electricity is produced by a nuclear reactor?

The electricity produced by a nuclear reactor can vary depending on its size and design, but a typical nuclear reactor can generate anywhere from 500 megawatts to 1,500 megawatts of electricity.


How much heat is produced in a nuclear reaction and how hot is it?

In a nuclear bomb temperatures of 10 million centigrade or more are produced. In a nuclear reactor temperatures of 100 centigrade to about 1000 centigrade are produced depending on type and design of reactor.


What does a nuclear reactor heat?

Water.


What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?

a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.


What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?

This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
