What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
How are a fossil fuel burning power plant and a nuclear plant similar?
They both use steam turbine/generators
Is a nuclear power plant and power plant the same?
Power plants come in various different types depending on the fuel used, coal, natural gas, oil, wind, solar and so on. Nuclear is one type of power plant in this general category.
How does a nuclear power plant affect the people living around it?
It provides them with power, without polluting the environment like a fossil fuel power plant would.
Is there any chance of a nuclear explosion from a nuclear power plant?
No. There is no possibility whatsoever of a nuclear power plant having a nuclear explosion. It is not physically, or even theoretically, possible for the core to be brought into a super-prompt critical geometry and held there long enough to consume enough fuel to "go nuclear".
What are the fuel sources for a nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
Can a nuclear power plant burn uranium?
A nuclear power plant does use uranium as fuel It "burns" it in the nuclear sense not the chemical sense
How is a nuclear power plant's fuel made?
iy
How is nuclear power plant's fuel made?

What is the uraniums use in nuclear power plant?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel.
Is coal a nonrenewable nuclear power source?
Cola is a renewable thermal fuel power source. It is not radioactive in the sense of nuclear plant fuel.
What is the atom of a nuclear power plant?
Uranium is the fuel that is used.
Does nuclear power plant generate carbondyoxyde?
The only source of vapor (by which the turbine is driven) in nuclear power plant is the nuclear energy (instead of burning out of fossile fuel).
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Advantages of steam power plant over diesel power plant?
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
What are five sources of Eletrical?
Solar, Nuclear, Wind, Water, and Fossil Fuel power
