Question

In a nuclear power station which step of the process converts energy of other forms into electrical energy that can be used as electricity?
A) Fission reactions occur in the reactor core, generating heat.
B) Heat from the reactor core turns water into steam.
C) Steam forces the high-pressure turbine to turn.
D) Condesed steam flows to the steam generator.

Answer 1

Answer;

C) Steam forces the high-pressure turbine to turn.

Explanation;

• Nuclear power stations are used for the purpose of producing electricity, this involves energy conversion from one form to another until energy in the form of electricity is obtained.
• Nuclear power plants involves the splitting of uranium atoms through the process of nuclear fission. Which produces heat energy that is used to boil water into steam. Then the steam turns or spins turbines that powers the generator  to generate electricity.
