Q. Basic Layout and Working of a Nuclear Power Plant
- In nuclear power station there is nuclear reactor and heat exchanger which is used to produce steam. This steam drives the steam turbine which gives mechanical input to the alternator and electrical energy is produced.
- In nuclear reactor, heavy radioactive elements [235U, 232Th] are subjected to fission. Fission process initiates chain reaction and huge amount of heat energy is released.
- This heat energy is utilized for generating steam. The steam is passed on to steam turbine which drives the alternator and thus electrical power is generated.
