Question

A nuclear power plant uses __________ energy to generate electric current.

Answer 1

Nuclear fission

1. It is the process by which an atomic or nuclear power plant uses nuclear energy to generate electric current.
2. In this process, a big atom is divided into smaller atoms because of which a large amount of energy is released.
3. This energy is used to heat water into steam.
4. This steam is used to spin turbines resulting in the formation of electric current.

Thus, an nuclear power plant uses nuclear energy to generate electric current.
