Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
No, there are many kinds of power stations: nuclear fission coal natural gas oil hydroelectric wind turbines tidal internal combustion (gas, diesel, kerosene) gas turbine (basically a non-propulsion...
Power plants come in various different types depending on the fuel used, coal, natural gas, oil, wind, solar and so on. Nuclear is one type of power plant in this general category.
The controlled nuclear reaction generates large amounts of heat. That heat boils water, which creates steam. The steam turns turbine blades, and the turbine generates electricity.
As of July 2008, there were more than 430 operating nuclear power plants and, together, they provided about 15 percent of the world's electricity in 2007. Despite all the cosmic energy that the word...
The energy released in nuclear fissions usually of U-235 or Pu-239 (or both together)nuclear power is powered by uranium witch is split in the reactor (main part of the plant) this creates a chemical...
