A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor.

image from here Nuclear power plants work almost exactly like hydroelectric power plants, except they use controlled fission to make steam which turns the turbines, rather than using gravity and water to turn the turbines. Once we understood the nuclear reactor, it was easy to visualize because we'd already talked so much about hydroelectric power during our water unit. To help us visualize the fuel rods (small pellets of enriched uranium, arranged in a row inside metal rods), we put black…

From the first brick in 1950, to the terrible leak in 1957, to the vast complex that stands today, here is the story of Sellafield power plant

We're going to see a major comeback in nuclear power on our way to a carbon-free future. This is the best clean energy investment you can make today.
