Nuclear Power Generation

The nuclear power generation can be done in a power plant in which heat source comes from one or more nuclear reactors or even may be utilizing the steam by connecting it to a generator.

Power Generation Technology

The technique of generating power or energy in any form by exhausting the fuel or nucleus are termed as power generation technology. This technology is used in power stations using electromechanical generators.

In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts mechanical power into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even hand cranks. Most power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into three-phase electric power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electrical current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Cleaner sources include nuclear power, and an increasing use of renewables such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric.

Quantum physics including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest – including atomic and subatomic – scales. It underlies the mathematical framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including atomic physics, molecular physics, particle physics, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear physics.
