How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
Nuclear Fission
How much uranium produces nuclear power?
The mass of uranium needed for a nuclear power reactor depend on the type and the power of this reactor. For a medium size reactor - 100 t.
What must happen for nuclear reactor to make electricity?
a chain reaction
How do you get electricity from nuclear energy?
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
What part of a nuclear reactor produces the electricity from steam?
turbine
How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
What does a nuclear reactor do in a nuclear power plant?
You rip apart an atom which releases great energy in the form of heat. The energy causes water to evaporate which turns a turbine. The turning turbine creates electricity. This is how a nuclear reactor works.
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
Nuclear Fission
How do you make electricity from a nuclear reaction?
It is an almost insanely simple process. Water is heated by the nuclear reactor to the point it boils and this steam is used to drive a turbine which is connected to a generator. This generator creates the electricity we use.
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 was a nuclear reactor an advance in?
Producing electricity
How is the energy of a nuclear reactor converted to electricity?
the nuclear reactor makes steam wich drives turbines wich drive generators that make the electricity
How do you power generator to create electricity?
The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
Is magnetic resonance resulting from nuclear reactor?
No, a nuclear reactor produces thermal energy and ionising radiation, no magnetic effects.
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
What happens in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear powerplant is a Thermal powerstation that uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The method: A nuclear fission or fusion reaction happens which produces up to 650 to 700 Degrees Of heat when controlled. This massive amount of heat is then open to massive amounts of water that produces steam which in turn the turbines that produces up to 10,000 Mega Watts of electricity.
