Nuclear power stations are facilities that generate electricity by using nuclear reactions, primarily through the process of nuclear fission. In these plants, atoms of fuel, typically uranium or plutonium, are split to release a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators, ultimately producing electricity. Nuclear power is considered a low-carbon energy source, but it also raises concerns regarding safety, radioactive waste, and potential environmental impacts.

Where is nuclear How and where it is used?
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
What waste is produced from nuclear power stations?
nuclear waste
What are the two nuclear power stations in Pakistan?
The Chashma Nuclear Power Complex and Karachi Nuclear Power Plant are in Pakistan.
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
Yes, nuclear power stations are generally more efficient than coal power stations, as they can generate more electricity with the same amount of fuel. Nuclear power produces less waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal power.
Is nuclear power stations sustainable?
Yes.

What is a real world example of nuclear energy?
Nuclear power stations.
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
Are nuclear power stations better for the environment than power stations that burn fossil fuels?
Yes
