How do we convert nuclear energy into usable energy?At electrical power stations, turbines turn their rotors to produce electricity by electromagnetic induction. At a nuclear power station, the energy released by nuclear fission reactions is used to drive these turbines. As of year 2005, nuclear power provided about 15% of the world’s electricity. There are more … [Read more...] about How does a nuclear power plant works?
