A nuclear power reactor uses the nuclear fission reaction to generate heat. Extremely pure water at very high pressure is routed through the reactor, which heats the water. Which in turn rotates a huge turbine or fan which acts has a dynamo . thus producing electricity

Which process does the Sun use to produce energy?
The conversion of Hydrogen into Helium (nuclear fusion).
Is the nuclear energy friendly to the inverment?
It does not produce carbon dioxide or sulfur or nitrous oxides
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
How is nuclear energy usefull to mankind?
It is useful because it does not produce carbon dioxide as it is not combusted to produce energy, also, it gives off huge amounts of energy from small quantities of uranium or plutonium. However, it takes a long time to power up or power down nuclear plants, making it quite inefficient.
Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?
Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
When generators are spun they produce nuclear energy?
No, generators produce electrical energy when they are spun. Nuclear energy produces steam which spin generators.
What kind of energy does the sun produce?
The sun produce light and nuclear energy
Does nuclear energy produce a lot of energy?
Yes.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Yes, nuclear energy is the electricity generated by nuclear power plants through nuclear reactions. Nuclear fuel, on the other hand, is the material such as uranium or plutonium that undergoes fission to produce the energy in nuclear power plants.
What is nuclear energy for?
To produce electricity
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
What type of energy transformation occurs in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is transformed into heat energy through nuclear fission. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. So, the energy transformation in a nuclear power plant is from nuclear energy to heat energy to electrical energy.
does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
Nuclear power plant are designed to convert nuclear energy into what type of energy?
Nuclear power plants are designed to convert nuclear energy into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
What is the main use of nuclear energy?
The main use of nuclear energy is to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. Nuclear reactions release heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity.
What are the relationships between electrical energy and nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce electrical energy, but there is no direct relationship
