- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear PowerNuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy, because unlike coal, oil or gas power plants, nuclear power plants practically do not produce CO 2 during their operation. Nuclear reactors generate close to one-third of the world’s carbon free electricity and are crucial in meeting climate change goals.
- The next generation of nuclear reactors is getting more advanced. Here ...Nuclear power plants generate electricity via fission reactions, where atoms split apart, releasing energy as heat and radiation. Neutrons released during these splits collide with other...
- Advantages and Challenges of Nuclear EnergyNuclear is the largest source of clean power in the United States. It generates nearly 775 billion kilowatthours of electricity each year and produces nearly half of the nation’s emissions-free electricity.
- Definition, Principles & Components - Nuclear Power PlantWhat is a nuclear power plant? A nuclear power plant is a thermal power plant in which a nuclear reactor generates large amounts of heat. This heat is used to generate steam (directly or via steam generator) which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.
- NUCLEAR 101: How Does a Nuclear Reactor Work?Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity.
