One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
There technically is no "pollution" from nuclear power, the only by product is steam. The transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel is extremely secure and safe. The only time we are in danger of nuclear radiation are if the reactor vessels that house the nuclear rods are damaged or melt....which is extremely rare and only happens with a massive failure in the chain of events that govern and sustain the supply (in theory, a deliberate attack on a power plant would also cause a spill, too. Yet, so far, that hasn't happened). In the end, thousands of people die every year from the burning of fossil fuels, where as virtually nobody dies from the use of nuclear power. Over 85 of France's power usage comes from nuclear power, after all.
Nuclear energy is simply electricity produced by a nuclear reactor, which is just a different way to heat steam to turn a turbine. It is the same as normal electricity, actually it IS normal electricity.
The nuclear substance heats water which evaporates and drives turbines which power generators.
In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
In a nuclear power plant, steam is generated by heat produced from the nuclear fission reaction. This steam is used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. The steam is then condensed back into water and reused in a continuous cycle.
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
In a nuclear power plant, the turbine is turned by steam produced by the heat generated from nuclear fission in the reactor core. The steam drives the turbine which then rotates a generator to produce electricity.
In a nuclear power plant, water is turned into steam through a process called nuclear fission. The heat generated by the nuclear reaction heats water within the reactor, turning it into steam. This steam is then used to drive turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions generate heat, which is used to produce steam. The steam drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
The steam turbines (which use the steam produced by the hot nuclear pile).
To provide steam to drive a steam turbine.
The smoke seen coming from a nuclear power plant is actually steam generated from the cooling towers. This steam is a byproduct of the plant's cooling system and does not contain harmful radiation. Nuclear power plants are designed to release this steam as part of their normal operation to cool the system.
