Top Four Frequent Questions About Nuclear Power Plant

WHAT IS A NUCLEAR POWER 
It is a thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors. This is due to  the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity. 

WHY IS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IS SO IMPORTANT?
1. Because Nuclear Power Plant is a clean, safe, and inexpensive way to produce electricity. 
2. no CO2 is released when uranium is used to produce electricity.
3. Nuclear power plant do not realease sulfur and nitrogen compound that causes acid rain
4. Nuclear energy is also important to save lives. Nuclear power is safe; except for the Chernobyl event in Ukraine in 1986, there have been no known deaths among the public caused by the world's nuclear plants during their 36 years of operation. 
5. Nuclear plants do not release particulates. Because 20% of our electricity comes from nuclear power, the 100-plus nuclear plants operating in the United States today are probably saving thousands of lives every year. Increased substitution of nuclear power for electricity from burning coal would save thousands more lives each year.
6. The only proven methods to generate large amounts of electricity at competitive costs in new plants are to burn fossil fuels or to use uranium.
7.The cost of electricity from uranium in new plants is expected to be only a few percent higher than the costs from natural gas and coal, and less than from oil. 

WHAT IS NUCLEAR ENERGY?
It is the kinetic energy of the fragments that result from the fissioning or splitting of U-235 and plutonium nuclei when they absorb neutrons. The kinetic energy is converted to heat as the fragments are slowed, and the heat is converted to electricity.

WHAT IS A NUCLEAR REACTOR?
It is a machine we build to release energy from uranium and plutonium. The energy is then converted to heat and used to heat water and make steam. In some reactors, the steam is made inside the reactor; in others, very hot water is piped outside the reactor to form steam. Another Definition is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The most common use of nuclear reactors is for the generation of 
electric energy and for the propulsion of ships.
