Una central nuclear, o planta nuclear, es una instalación industrial empleada para la generación de energía eléctrica a partir de energía nuclear. Se caracteriza por el empleo de combustible nuclear, compuesto básicamente por material fisionable. [...] reacciones nucleares proporcionan calor que es empleado a través de un ciclo termodinámico convencional para producir el movimiento de alternadores, transformando el trabajo mecánico en energía eléctrica. 2, record 1, Spanish, - central%20nuclear
