Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Fossil − fuel power plants are used to generate electricity by burning coal and natural gases. The nuclear power plants are used to generate electricity through the nuclear fission reaction of radioactive molecule.
When nuclear reaction is carried out in a nuclear power plant, some of the mass of original atom converted into energy according to the
The fossil fuels in power plants come from the prehistoric plant. The energy in plants comes from the sun, which is the richest source of nuclear fusion. Therefore, virtually fossil fuel power plants are also relevant to the
Conclusion:
Therefore, Nuclear power plants and fossil − fuel power plants both are relevant to the
