The nuclear power plant is used in the following way:

  1. nuclear fission occur in the nuclear fuel producing heat energy
  2. the energy is transferred to the coolant producing steam
  3. the steam spins turbines that moves the electric generator and thus producing electricity.
  4. the steam out of the turbines turns to water in the condenser and returns back to be heated again into steam and so on.
  5. the condenser gets its cooling water from the ultimate heat sink that could be sea. ocean, river, lakes, ...etc
