Answer:

Nuclear power plants are designed to convert nuclear energy into electrical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear power plants use fission reaction to produce heat from the splitting of uranium atoms. This nuclear energy generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. When the turbine moves or rotates, it rotates a dynamo with itself and the rotation in the dynamo produces electrical energy and the amount of energy produced depends on the amount of time it operates at a specific capacity
