Nuclear Power Plant

This post will briefly describe how Nuclear Power Plant works. Nuclear Power Plants is know as thermal power station because it heats the water to get electricity.

In a nuclear power plant you have reactor or fuel rods immersed in water than you have control rods a pump steam generator and turbine areas. Once the chain reaction starts in this case Uranium-235 it decays to Krypton-89, Barium-144 and 3 neutrons. Through this it releases heat energy, because of high pressure the water does not boils. In this case a pump that helps to exchange the water and water are supplied into another that helps to create steam. Steam than passes through a pipe line to rotate than turbine. Thus, the rotation of turbine generates electricity. Nuclear process is the most efficient method to generate electricity if the reaction held control. Once the expected amount of heat released by the reaction control rods are immersed into the water. These rods are made of Cadmium metal which can easily absorb water. These rods absorbs neutrons for further reactions.
