Question

In a nuclear power plant, a special fuel called radioactive uranium is used to generate heat and produce steam.

True

False

Answer 1

True

Answer 2

hint:
Into a nuclear reactor, Uranium atoms are hit by a flux of slowed down neutrons, in order to get the so called chain reaction.With such chain reaction an amount of heat is generated, and such amount heat is used in order to produce water steam. Subsequently, such water steam will expand itself into a turbomachinery, to which an alternator is linked. So, finally we get electric energy.
