1. Nuclear power plants produced 772 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2022

U.S. nuclear power plants generated 772 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2022. That's enough to power more than 72 million homes! U.S. reactors have supplied around 20% of the nation's power since the 1990s and are also the largest producer of nuclear energy in world.

2. Nuclear power provides nearly half of America's clean energy

Nuclear energy provided 47% of America's carbon-free electricity in 2022, making it the largest domestic source of clean energy.

Nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases while generating electricity.

They produce power by boiling water to create steam that spins a turbine. The water is heated by a process called fission, which makes heat by splitting apart uranium atoms inside a nuclear reactor core.

3. Nuclear energy is one of the most reliable energy sources in America

Nuclear power plants operated at full capacity more than 92% of the time in 2022-making it the most reliable energy source in America. That's about 1.5 to 2 times more reliable as natural gas (56.7%) and coal (47.8%) plants, and roughly 2.5 to 3.5 times more reliable than wind (36.1%) and solar (24.8%) plants.

Nuclear power plants are designed to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because they require less maintenance and can operate for longer stretches before refueling (typically every 1.5 or 2 years).

4. Nuclear helps power 28 U.S. states

There are currently 93 commercial reactors helping to power homes and businesses in 28 U.S. states. Illinois has 11 reactors-the most of any state-and joins South Carolina and New Hampshire in receiving more than 50% of its power from nuclear.

Plant Vogtle Unit 3 in Waynesboro, GA became the nation's newest reactor when it entered into commercial service in the summer of 2023.

5. Nuclear fuel is extremely dense

Because of this, the amount of used nuclear fuel is not as big as you think.

All of the used nuclear fuel produced by the U.S. nuclear energy industry over the last 60 years could fit on a football field at a depth of less than 10 yards.

Energy transformation in motors

A motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is an application of a magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire. A generator, on the other hand, functions opposite that of a motor. It transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.

# data[].attributes.body
When an electric current flows it generates a three dimensional magnetic force field around the wire that is a lot like a magnetic force field. The mechanical power for an electric generator is usally obtained from a rotating shaft and is equal to the shaft torque multiplied by the rotational, or angular, velocity.

# data[].attributes.body
A power plant is an industrial facility that generates electricity from primary energy. Most power plants use one or more generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in order to supply power to the electrical grid for society's electrical needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The fields can either be static, slowly changing, or form waves. The waves are generally known as light and obey the laws of optics

power plants are normally used near bigger cities because power plants are a way to supply big areas with electricity

# data[].attributes.body
Power plants use huge magnets to make, or generate, electricity. In a generator, a big coil of copper wire spins inside the magnets. As it spins, the magnetic fields push and pull electrons in the wire. The electrons in the copper wire flow into power lines.
