Any steam you see from a nuclear plant is not from the reactor primary circuit, but as on any steam power station, whether nuclear or fossil fired, there are times when steam has to be released. This is particularly during start up from cold when steam lines have to be purged and warmed through before the steam at the turbine inlet is of good enough quality to start it rolling. Another circumstance when steam will be blown off is if the turbine suddenly trips out or the outgoing grid connection is lost for some reason, then there is a sudden loss of the requirement for the steam being produced from the nuclear plant and it has to be blown off temporarily via pressure reducing safety valves.

What is the functions of heat power cycle in a steam power plant?
There is no such thing as a heat power cycle in a steam engine.The power stroke, or strokes, result from pressurised steam being let into the cylinder and moving the piston.
Does nuclear power produce smoke?
Nothing unusual. The only thing vented into the air from a nuclear power plant is steam. Water is used in the cooling process but is only applied to the outside of containers so it never becomes mixed with any dangerous chemicals. The clean water vapor is vented out into the air. Any physical or chemical waste produced by a nuclear plant is completely enclosed and disposed of without contact with the outside air so there is no smell produced.
How could nuclear energy be used?
Nuclear energy is simply electricity produced by a nuclear reactor, which is just a different way to heat steam to turn a turbine. It is the same as normal electricity, actually it IS normal electricity.
What gases do power plants let off?
It depends what type of power plant. A coal-burning power plant will produce CO2 and SO2, which are both pollutants. Nuclear power plants and geothermal power plants produce steam, which is not a pollutant. There are many other types of power plants, but most produce CO2 and SO2 or steam.
How a nuclear power plant generates electrical power by nuclear fission?
A nuclear fission power plant does this, there are 104 operating in the US. These are all light water moderated ones, PWR or BWR. These are the most used types in the world, but there are also heavy water reactors (Candu) and AGR gas cooled reactors.
How do you let the police let you in the underground path in Celadon City?
Fix the power plant.
What is the disadvantage of having a power station near your house?
The bad thing about living near a nuclear power plant is that radiation will end up affecting you in the long run. No matter what you will be exposed to the radtiation somehow. Everyday you will worry about a melt down occurring and hopefully you wont have kids who will also be exposed to that as well.
How did the Fidel Castro anger US when he first came to power?
He let the Russians bring nuclear weapons to Cuba.
Is wind energy less expensive than nuclear energy?
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
How do they collect nuclear energy?
Depends what you want it to do for you. If you want to use it as a weapon, then you don't collect it; you just let it spread around far and wide and cause as much death and destruction as possible. If, on the other hand, you want to use it to generate electricity, you wrap the nuclear reactor in layers of pipes that carry water past it, and you let the nuclear energy heat the water. Then you use the steam or superheated water to run a steam-turbine generator, just as if it had been heated by a coal or oil fire, or by sunshine.
How do you shape a felt cowboy hat?
With steam. Steam the hat then shape it and let it cool Boil a pan of water then let the steam hit the hat until its wet..shape the hat as you wish. Then let it sit for a couple hours.
How nuculer disaster occur?
This is a large topic. Let's narrow it down to nuclear power stations. A nuclear power station is a complicated thing, so there's many things that could go wrong.To take an example, there may be a problem with the cooling system, causing the increased temperature in some part of the reactor. Naturally there are safety systems in reactors, so a "disaster" would only really occur in the event of multiple system failures or perhaps erroneous human intervention. The cooling system in a reactor utilises water, which turns to steam when given enough energy. A continued increase in temperature can lead to a build up of steam, an increased pressure in the system and maybe even a steam explosion.Wikipedia has reasonably good entries for nuclear incidents at Chernobyl, 3 mile island and K-19 amongst others.
