Key Points: Power Plants Based on Nuclear Energy

  1. Working Principle: Nuclear fission of Uranium-235 or Plutonium releases heat, which is used to convert water into steam.
  2. Electricity Generation: The high-pressure steam rotates the turbine, which drives the generator to produce electricity.
  3. Energy Transformation: Nuclear energy → Thermal energy → Kinetic energy in steam → Kinetic energy in turbine → Electrical energy.
  4. Advantages: No air pollution, efficient source of energy, and less fuel required compared to thermal power plants.
  5. Problems: Produces radioactive nuclear waste and any accident can release harmful radiation.
