A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source 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 an electric generator which produces electricity . As of 23 April 2014 , the IAEA report there are 435 nuclear power reactors in operation operating in 31 countries. Nuclear power plants are usually considered to be base load stations, since fuel is a small part of the cost of
Electricity was generated by a nuclear reactor for the first time ever on September 3, 1948 at the X-10 Graphite Reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the United States, and was the first nuclear power plant to power a light bulb. The second, larger experiment occurred on December 20, 1951 at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho in the United States. On June 27, 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant to generate electricity for a power grid started operations at the Soviet city of Obninsk . The
A "severe nuclear accident" could occur at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as fighting is expected to intensify between Russia and Ukraine. Around 18 settlements near the power plant, which has been held by Russia since the early days of the invasion, have been evacuated. Ukraine has said the evacuation orders have sparked "mass panic" as Russia claims the move was due to an anticipated offensive by Kyiv. The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency has said the situation at the power p
