Nuclear Power Plant
Generating Electricity at Nuclear Power Plants:
To generate electricity, nuclear fission is carried out in a setup called a nuclear reactor. The energy released is used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators. The whole system, including the nuclear reactor, the turbine, etc., is called a nuclear power plant.
Advantages of Nuclear Power
(a) Nuclear power plants consume very little fuel.
(b) If operated properly, nuclear power plants produce less atmospheric pollution than thermal power plants.
(c) A sizeable amount of fuel can be reclaimed by processing the spent fuel material. In contrast, fuels like coal cannot be reclaimed once they have been used.
Disadvantages of Nuclear Power
(a) A lot of radioactive and toxic wastes are produced in the different stages of energy production from nuclear fission. They cannot be simply thrown away. So, they are stored in long-term underground storage facilities, which are expensive to build.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
