A nuclear power plant using heavy elements to generate electricity. This type of power plant can be used to produce electricity with greater numbers. In most countries this plant is used as a base load power plant (base load). This is because a nuclear power plant can operate for long periods of time and the plant life can last up to 60 years.
Operation
Heavy elements such as Uranium (U 235) or Thorium (Th232) is subject to the fission nuclear energy in a reactor to produce high pressure and temperature steam.
The steam drives turbines will then convert nuclear energy to mechanical energy. This process will then convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
