Principle of Nuclear Power Plant
State the working principle of Nuclear Power Plant.
Expert
A Nuclear Power Plant differs from the thermal power plant only in steam generating part. In thermal (steam) power plant, the source for the generation of electricity is coal but in a nuclear power plant the source is a nuclear fuel (Uranium). The heat produced by the nuclear fission reaction is used to convert water into the steam. The steam with high energy content drives the prime mover which is coupled with the generator. As per the theory, “One kg of U235 can produce as much as energy as produced by the burning of 4500 tonnes of high grade coal”.
