what is hydro nuclear energy?
Answers
Answer:
Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity produced from hydropower. ... With a dam and reservoir it is also a flexible source of electricity, since the amount produced by the station can be varied up or down very rapidly (as little as a few seconds) to adapt to changing energy demands.
☘️ Nuclear energy comes from the binding energy that is stored in the centre of an atom. The binding energy is what holds the atom together. To release the energy, the atom has to be split into smaller atoms.
☘️ Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions.
☘️ Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste.
☘️ A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
