How is electricity produced at a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.
Why is Nuclear Power so expensive?
its expensive to dispose of the waste and the initial machinery is expensive to build.
In a nuclear power plant excess heat is?
Rejected to the turbine cooling system, but this is the same in any power plant running on the Rankine cycle, whether nuclear or fossil fuelled
What are facts about nuclear power plants?
Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
What do nuclear power plants use to turn a turbine that is used to rotate the generator?
Steam at high pressure
Why must the turbine spin for nuclear power?
To turn the generators.
What is the energy of nuclear power converted into?
Heat. Which is used to boil water which turns a turbine. The turbine generates electricity.
How do you get power from a nuclear power plant?
The controlled nuclear reaction generates large amounts of heat. That heat boils water, which creates steam. The steam turns turbine blades, and the turbine generates electricity.
What is the energy released from a nuclear power plant?
Electric. The nuclear energy produces heat, heat boils water, steam drives turbine, turbine makes electircity.
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).
Is nuclear power expensive to use?
yes it is very expensive.
A wind turbine uses the power of the wind to produce nuclear energy?

What is the role of the steam in a nuclear power plant?
It Powers the Huge turbine that produces electricity.
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.
Where do nuclear power stations work?
A nuclear power station uses heat given off by the controlled fission of enriched uranium. The heat is used to boil water, the steam blows through the vanes of a turbine, and the turbine spins an electrical generator.
