Question
how is the energy from nuclear fission used in a power plant? it is used to heat water and produce steam it is stored in batteries it is used to cool the reactor it is directly converted into electricity
In a nuclear - power plant, the heat generated from nuclear fission is used to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine - generator to produce electricity. Nuclear energy is not stored in batteries in a power - plant context, it's not used to cool the reactor (cooling systems use other means for cooling), and it's not directly converted into electricity.
