Select two statements that are true for the power plants that you've looked at in this lesson.They can use fossil or nuclear fuels as the primary energy resource They use heat to create steam which turns turbines They can use coal or natural gas as the primary energy resource, but not nuclear fuelThe electricity comes directly from radioactive fuel rods

Which of the following statements regarding nuclear energy is true?Multiple ChoiceIn a nuclear power plant, electricity is collected directly from electrons splitting off from fuel atoms.Nearly all nuclear power plants worldwide are built far from water sources to prevent contamination.Decommissioning a nuclear power plant costs up to ten times as much as building it.The Pressurized Water Reactor and the Boiling Water Reactor are essentially the two main designs for a nuclear power plant.In a nuclear power plant, electricity is collected directly from the combination of electrons.

Determine whether the following statement is true or false:Nuclear power plants make electricity by producing steam to turn a turbine.
