About this document
Nuclear Reactor Turbine Overview by Vaibhav Kala is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A nuclear power plant uses heat from nuclear fission in a reactor to generate steam that drives turbines which spin generators to produce electricity. The uranium fuel rods in the reactor core undergo fission to produce heat, which is transferred to coolant water to make steam. This steam powers the turbines which spin the generator to produce electricity. Excess heat is released through cooling towers. Fuel rods are zirconium tubes containing uranium pellets that fuel the chain reaction in the reactor core
