What is nuclear power?

Question

What is nuclear power?

Answer 1

Nuclear Power is actually the heat energy released by a nuclear reaction

Answer 2

in the nuclear reactors we generate electric power using nuclear energy, the electricity we get from the nuclear energy has another name as nuclear power.

Answer 3

power produced using nuclear material like uranium.

Answer 4

The nuclear reactions fission and fusion release a large amount of energy. Fusion gives out more,but its uncontrollable . So when we refer to nuclear energy ,its energy from fission reactions.

The heat energy liberated is in the form of heat. A coolant can be used to take over this heat. Then its used to convert water to vapour which is in turn used to rotate a turbine to produce electricity.

Hope its clear for you. This is a basic idea only. If you need further explanation feel free to ask.

Thank you

Answer 5

Nuclear power is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions. The most common method today is through nuclear fission, though other methods include nuclear fusion and radioactive decay.
