Nuclear and fossil fuel-burning power plants differ mainly in where their energy comes from; a nuclear reactor produces heat from radioactive metals, and a fossil-fuel plant burns coal, oil or natural gas. In addition to the technical differences between the two approaches, they affect the environment differently: Fossil-fuel plants are notorious for greenhouse gas emissions, whereas nuclear ...

Fuel Consumption of Conventional Reactor. A typical nuclear power plant has an electric-generating capacity of 1000 MWe.The heat source in the nuclear power plant is a nuclear reactor.As is typical in all conventional thermal power stations the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity.

Nuclear reactors and power plants have complex safety and security features . An uncontrolled nuclear reaction in a nuclear reactor could result in widespread contamination of air and water. The risk of this happening at nuclear power plants in the United States is small because of the diverse and redundant barriers and safety systems in place at nuclear power plants, the training and skills ...

Comparing Energy Sources for Electricity . By itself, electricity is an exceptionally clean form of energy – but we have to consider how it is generated. Today, about 70% of U.S. electricity is produced from fossil fuels (about 50% from coal, and 20% from natural gas). Nuclear power accounts for another 20%, leaving about 10% coming from renewable resources like wind, water and solar. The ...

However, most power plants do not operate a full capacity every hour of every day of the year. In 2018, the R.E. Ginna nuclear power plant actually generated at total of 4,689,440 MWh. Nuclear power reactors generally operate at or near their rated generating capacity throughout the year and have relatively high annual capacity factors.
