ELECTRIC POWER STATIONS THAT USE NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

1.Thermal power stations that use fossil fuels
Fossil fuels are used to heat water in a boiler. Steam from the boiler turns a turbine , wich is connected to the rotor of a generator. This produces electricity. After that, the steam goes to a condenser , where it cools and becomes liquid water again, wich is pumped back to the boiler.

2.Nuclear power stations

They work like a termal power station, but this use radioactive materials such as uranium.

-Advantages: productivity and profitability.

-Disadvantages: risks of nuclear accidents and management and storage of radioactive waste.
