Question

In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions are used to heat steam, which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening in a nuclear power plant?
A.Heat energy to nuclear energy to electrical energy to kinetic energy
B.Nuclear energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy
C.Electrical energy to chemical energy to kinetic energy to heat energy
D.Chemical energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to nuclear energy

Answer 1

In a nuclear power plant, you start off with uranium (nuclear energy), and a lot of that nuclear energy is released by heat energy. Heat then boils water and drives a turbine for a generator, which creates kinetic energy, which produces electrical energy.

In other words, your answer is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a nuclear plant is happening the B option. Nuclear energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

1. The first step in a nuclear plant is to generate a nuclear chain reaction, removing nuclear elements from the atoms of enriched substances like uranium 235. This reaction free energy in the form of heat. A lot. NUCLEAR ENERGY

2. The heat should now be dissipated, through a cooling system, that uses water. HEAT ENERGY

3. The water in the cooling system boils and generates steam. The steam moves the turbine. KINETIC ENERGY

4. The turbine rotation generates electrical energy. ELECTRICAL ENERGY
