How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
What are the social implications of using nuclear energy as compared to other ways of generating electricity?
It generates electricity and it is too dangerous. We cannot depend on nuclear power.
Which country generates the most electricity with nuclear power?
The US generates most, with 104 power reactors, but France has the largest percentage at around 80 percent of total electricity
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.
This European nation generates 75 percent of its electricity using nuclear power?
France
How do nuclear power plants make electricity?
nuclear fission generates heatheat boils water making steamsteam turns turbinesturbines turn generatorsgenerators make electricity
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.
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 are the example of nuclear force?
The energy released when a nuclear power plant generates heat to generate steam to generate electricity. The energy released when a nuclear weapon detonates.
What is the difference between electricity being made in a fossil fuel power station to being made in a nuclear power station?
The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.
How many metric tons of air pollution does nuclear power plant which generates electricity cause?
almost none
What is the energy of nuclear power converted into?
Heat. Which is used to boil water which turns a turbine. The turbine generates electricity.
