Description
English: Nuclear reactor: boiling water type.
Water is heated through the controlled splitting of uranium atoms in the reactor core and turns to steam. Pumps force the water through the reactor at top speed, maximizing steam production. Steam drives the turbines that turn the generator that makes electricity. Cooling water from the river condenses the steam back into water. The river water is either discharged directly back to the river or cooled in the cooling towers and reused in the plant.
