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