Few specifics have been supplied by Matt Groening regarding the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. The nuclear assembly was cited as a Fissionator 1952 Slow-Fission Reactor, but beyond that, we can only guess. It presents all the appearances of the pressurized water reactor plant with which we are somewhat familiar, as these are the most common types in the US.

What does the springfield power plant in the simpsons do?
it makes nuclear power for the town, and it also gives homer a job and it also gives excuses for episodes like how homer gets fired every two episodes.

Factors of a nuclear power plant?
Factors-what does this mean? factors affecting location of a nuclear plant
Did Matt groening work at a nuclear power plant?
No he doesn't. He works/worked as the creator of the Simpson's. Why do you think he works at a nuclear power plant?
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What do power plant lines do for a nuclear reactor?
lead
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
What was the worst reactor accident in history?

Where was the first nuclear power plant in the US?
The Shippingport reactor was the first full-scale PWR nuclear power plant in the United States.
How is nuclear energy changed into electrical energy in a nuclear power plant?
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
Is the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant controlled or uncontrolled?
Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Are nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants the same?
Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.
What is a nuclear powerstation?
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
