the "disappearance" of a small amount of mass
Electrical Energy ( Electricity).
When the nuclear reaction undergoes fusion, it generates heat.
This heat is used to heat the surrounding enclosed jacket of water.
Because this jacket can also be radio-active , the enclosed circuit of water undergoes heat transfer to more water, in an open system, to create steam.
Steam is then passed into a turbine. The turbine rotates thereby rotating a magnet in a coil of wire ( the generator). The rotating magnet inside the coil makes the electrons in the coil move (electricity).
This electricity is then passed into a (step-up) transformer to reduce the amperage and increase the voltage to 132,000 V (UK standard). It is then passed through the net work grid (pylons across the countryside in the UK) to another (step down) transformer to reduce the voltage to 250V for UK .
domestic use. So you can use your computer, cooker, TV. games console etc., and anything else electrical.
The Disappearance of a small amount of mass.
Explanation: (totally not copied from apex :))
The splitting and fusing of atomic nuclei.
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy,
and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
Mass
1. Heat energy is produced by burning fossil fuel in a furnace or from the fission of uranium in nuclear or by hot gas in a gas-fired power station
Energy produced by nuclear power cannot be stored, it has to be used as soon as it is produced. This is done by producing steam from the thermal energy released and using this in a conventional power plant
3/4
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.
1800 MWe
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.

No. Nuclear energy is a type of energy that is quite different from chemical energy.
Energy produced by nuclear power cannot be stored, it has to be used as soon as it is produced. This is done by producing steam from the thermal energy released and using this in a conventional power plant
About 15 percent of the energy produced in Canada is derived from nuclear power plants. In contrast, about 61 percent of the energy produced in Canada is derived from hydroelectric power plants.
Inputs of a power station is the air inside it produced. :) But seriously: The input to a power station is the source of energy use to make electricity. This can be water, oil, gas, coal, nuclear. In less conventional terms, wind turbines and tidal schemes are 'power stations'.
Nuclear fission. The combining of Plutonium and Uranium atoms releases energy, which is used to heat water. The steam produced turns turbines which generate electricity.
