Neutrons start a chain reaction in which energy is produced from the splitting of uranium atoms, also referred to as nuclear fission. The heat generated is used to turn water into steam. The steam is fed through a pipe to a steam turbine. The steam rotates the blades within the turbine that generates electricity. ]]> 2018-04-03 03:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/natalia_sp/30h2odkcbsc7/wish/247979150 Solar Power natalia_sp https://padlet.com/natalia_sp/30h2odkcbsc7/wish/247979286 Two main types of solar panels include:

    • Solar thermal panels used to heat water and buildings.
    • Photovoltaic panels used to convert sunlight to electrical energy.
