Identify one similarity and one difference between how fossil fuel plants work and how nuclear power plants work.

Learning goal 4: Identify one similarity and one difference between how fossil fuel plants work and how nuclear power plants work.

Determine what wind power has in common with fossil fuel power plants.They are both renewableThey are both non-renewableThey both involve a turbine spinning a generator to produce electricityThey both work by burning fuelsThey both generate carbon dioxide during operation

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 these is true about nuclear power?A.Nuclear fuel has a lower energy density than fossil fuels.B.The neutrons released from the reactions are used to do work.C.Nuclear power is location specific.D.Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
