What is the source of heat in a nuclear power plant?
The source of heat in a nuclear power plant is the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that hold nuclei together.
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
What is the purpose of the heat in the nuclear power plant?
To boil water into steam to run (turn) turbines.
What is the waste of nuclear power?
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
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.
What is the source of heat in a nuclear power plant?
The source of heat in a nuclear power plant is the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that hold nuclei together.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
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.
How is nuclear energy changed into electrical energy in a nuclear power plant?
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
How is nuclear power plant different from an oil fired power plant?
Source of heat and sometimes generating capacity.
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.
Why do nuclear power stations need to be cooled down?
Because, if they aren't, the excess heat will damage the reactor.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Is it true that inside a nuclear power plant nuclear fission takes place within the heat exchanger?
yes
What is oil fired thermal power plant?
An oil fired thermal power plant is one which heats up oil so as to supply the heat needed to heat water and produce steam. They differ from nuclear power plants which rely on nuclear fusion.
