A nuclear power plant operates by using heat from nuclear fission to generate steam to power turbines that create electricity. It has four basic components - a heat source (nuclear reactor), turbine/generator, condenser, and pump. Cooling water is used to condense steam and is cooled in a cooling tower before being reused. Nuclear power plants are designed with safety measures to shut down reactors, cool reactors even after shutdown, and contain radioactive material within multiple barriers like fuel claddi
