How to transport nuclear energy ?
Answer Katherine – That depends on what you mean by nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants in the US are used to produce electricity, which travels over wires to your home, the same as electricity produced by dams, coal, or oil plants. Where a nuclear power plant differs is that the fission of the uranium atom is used to produce a vast amount of heat. This heat is used to boil water, and the resulting steam used to drive a turbine which is attached to an electric generator. In an oil or coal plant, fossil fuels are burned to produce heat, emitting pollutants into the air. Dams used water pressure to spin turbines and produce electricty with no resultant pollutants. I hope this helps you.
