Question

Differences between a hydroelectric, nuclear and thermal power station.

Answer 1

- "The hydroelectric uses the force of water from a drop, usually placed at the foot of reservoirs, and it is this water that moves the turbine producing electricity."

- "Thermals use fossil fuels to generate water vapor and drive a turbine through that vapor. To generate the steam a boiler is used. They are very polluting."


- "Nuclear also generates steam, but through nuclear fusion. The steam also moves a turbine. A nuclear reactor is used to generate water vapor."
