The process of creating electricity using
nuclear power begins with the splitting of
uranium atoms in the reactor.
This process called fission produces heat.
In a pressurized water reactor the heat from
the water surrounding the nuclear fuel is
kept under pressure to prevent it from boiling.
The hot water is piped from the reactor vessel
to a steam generator where it transfers its
heat to boil water and make steam in the second
system after transferring its energy the water
is pumped back to the reactor vessel to be
reused.
The non radio-active steam from steam generator
spins the turbines that drives the generator
to produce electricity.
after the steam is used to in the turbines
It transferred into the condenser where it
is cooled and condensed back into water and
pump back to the steam generator to be heated
and reused.
