How do plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity?

A. fission creates new elements from which electricity can be generated.

B. fission releases energy in the form of electricity.

C. fission breaks down radioactive materials into electrically charged materials.

D. fission produces heat, which is used to produce steam to power generators.

D. Fission produces heat, which is used to produce steam to power generations.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is process in which a heavy radioactive nucleus is split into lighter nucleus with the release of enormous amount of energy.

The nucleus which undergoes fission is called parent nucleus and the lighter nucleus formed are called daughter nucleus.

Nuclear fission starts with the bombardment of neutron on the parent nucleus.

The released energy is used to boil water for the generation of steam.

Steam is used to rotate turbine for the generation of electricity.

Answer: D. fission produces heat, which is used to produce steam to power generators

Explanation:

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms known as the process called fission. It generates heat to produce steam used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Bc nuclear plants do not burn fuel. They do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
