Nuclear power is obtained from energy stored in the nuclei of atoms of naturally occurring radio active elements like uranium and thorium. These fuels undergo nuclear fission in nuclear reactors and emit power. The greatest producers of nuclear power are U.S.A and Europe. In India Rajasthan and Jharkhand have large deposits of Uranium. Thorium is found in large quantities in the Monozite sands of Kerala. The nuclear power stations in India are located in Kalapakkam in Tamil Nadu, Tarapur in Maharashtra, Ranapratap Sagar near Kota in Rajasthan, Narora in U.P, and Kaiga in Karnataka. Q(i) From where we obtain nuclear power? Q(ii) Name two greatest producers of nuclear power in the world. Q(iii) ------------- state has a large quantity of Thorium in India .

Explanation:
(i) In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plant. At the center of the reactor is the core, which contains uranium fuel.
(ii) United States. The US has 96 operable nuclear reactors across 30 states operated by 30 different power companies. ...
France. France produces approximately 70% of the electricity it consumes from nuclear energy, the highest in the world.
(iii) The known reserves of thorium in India are estimated to be between 457,000 and 508,000 tonnes. Kerala, Jharkhand, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan are the main producers.
(iv) India boasts a fleet of seven nuclear power plants, profiled here in order of size from largest production capacity to smallest.
Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, Tamil Nadu.
(v) The state of Andhra Pradesh is the largest producer of uranium in India. Tummalapalle village located in the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh is considered as one of the largest uranium reserves in the world.
