Question

WRITE THE BASIC PRINCIPLE INVOLVED IN PRODUCING ELECTRIC ENERGY IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT?
(IMPORTANT QUESTION){CBSE 2014}

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two fundamental ways to generate nuclear energy. One way is to break up a heavy element into two lighter elements and produce heat, in a process known as nuclear fission. The other is to fuse two lighter elements together to form a heavier element and produce heat, in a process known as nuclear fusion.

Answer 2

The basic principle of the performance of a nuclear power plant is based on obtaining heat energy through the nuclear fission of the atoms´ nucleus from the fuel. ... The nuclear reactor is responsible for rising and handling this atomic fission that generates a lot of heat.
