Question

When nuclear power is harnessed, it is captured in the form of _____.

steam that turns a turbine
electrons that escape through a steel funnel
heat that conducts over plastic tubing
X-rays

Answer 1

the most appropriate answer is First one ! nuclear energy is converted to heat and thus eventually the steam produced turns the turbine and forms electricity !!

Answer 2

Answer;

steam that turns a turbine

When nuclear power is harnessed, it is captured in the form of steam that turns a turbine.

Step-by-step explanation;

• Nuclear power involves the use of nuclear reactions such as nuclear fission, that release energy which generates heat.
• The heat released by the nuclear reactions is used in steam turbines to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant.
• The nuclear reactions that may enhance production of nuclear power includes nuclear fission reactions, nuclear decay and also nuclear fusion reactions.
• During nuclear fission atoms are split apart and nuclear energy is released, while during nuclear fusion atoms are combined or fused together to form a bigger atom and also generate energy.
