Difference between Nuclear power and Steam engine

Nuclear power vs. Steam engine

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.

Similarities between Nuclear power and Steam engine

Nuclear power and Steam engine have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Biomass, Cooling tower, District heating, Electric generator, Electricity generation, Fossil fuel power station, Geothermal energy, Nuclear marine propulsion, Nuclear reactor, Steam turbine, Surface condenser.

Biomass

Biomass is an industry term for getting energy by burning wood, and other organic matter.
