Why nuclear power plants use nuclear fission reaction to produce electricity?

Answers

Answered by tamilpasangal

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.

tamilpasangal: then why are you asking

Answered by Iknoweverything

A nuclear reactor in present in the nuclear power plant. In it, a nuetron is bombarded on unranium 235 and it converts into its isotope uranium 236 which is highly reactive and converts into barium and krypton along with 3 nuetrons and 200MeV energy. The 3 nuetrons again fuse with more uranium 235 and more energy is released.

This energy is used to convert water into steam. A high presure and temperature steam is produced. This drives the steam turbine. The turbine drives the generator and finnally, electricity is produced.
