Power derived from nuclear reactions; -- used at present especially of electrical power generated in atomic reactors, but encompassing also fusion power.
Electrical power that is produced by using a nuclear reactor to boil water and produce steam, which, in turn, drives a turbogenerator.
Electricity produced by capturing the heat of nuclear reactions.
Power derived from nuclear energy. It comes from the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
nuclear energy regarded as a source of electricity for the power grid (for civilian use)
Electric energy generated using heat produced by an atomic reaction.
Energy produced in the form of heat by causing changes in the nucleus of the atom, which can then be converted into electrical power.
Power obtained from nuclear fission in nuclear reactors, ultimately converted to electric power.
Electricity generated by nuclear reactors of various types such as heavy water, light water, and boiling water.
Electric power generated using nuclear reactors. Acronym: NP. Synonym: atomic power.
The energy generated by nuclear power stations, that leads to nuclear waste. Back to links
electricity generated in facilities (fission reactors) that split atoms of radioactive materials such as uranium. These reactors produce radioactive waste but not air pollution.
Electricity generated from nuclear processes.
The energy produced by splitting atoms (such as uranium) in a nuclear reactor.
Power obtained from the operation of a nuclear reactor.
Nuclear power is the controlled use of nuclear reactions to release energy for work including propulsion, heat, and the generation of electricity. Human use of nuclear power to do significant useful work is currently limited to nuclear fission and radioactive decay. Nuclear energy is produced when a fissile material, such as uranium-235 (235U), is concentrated such that nuclear fission takes place in a controlled chain reaction and creates heat — which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine.
