ENERGY
Enviromental impact
-
-
mandatory to carry out an environmental impact assessment to find out what changes it would provoke in the environment
environmental impacts
Electricity generation
-
-
Nuclear thermal power plants are accompanied by the nsk of
nuclear accidents and the problem of nuclear waste
-
-
Final energy use
The fuels we use in vehicles and heating systems emit gases and
particles similar to those generated by conventional thermal power plants
Waste treatment
To reduce the waste generated by thermal power plants, as well as
their effects, several measures can be taken
Waste from nuclear power plants is stored in drums with thick sides that do not let the nuclear radiation escape and these are thenstored in ocean trenches and underground
-
Electric power plants
Once electricity is generated, it must be
transported to towns, cities or industrial parks
Electric power plants are facilities where primary or secondary energy
is transformed into electricity
How they work
-
An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part,
rotor, connected to the turbine shaft
As the rotor shaft moves, alternating electrical current is produced on
each of the stator's coils

-
Energy sources
natural resources from which we obtain different forms
of energy that can be transformed for a specific use
uses
household
operating of electncal appliances, heating, systems, hot water systems, heat for cooking and for means of transport
industrial
operating of factories and companies,
construction and agriculture
