Temperature of the UO2 fuel must be kept below melting point of 2800 deg C. UO2 is not a good conductor of heat and the design parameters of max heat rate and fuel pin diameter have to be optimised to give a satisfactory operating condition.

How do nuclear cooling towers work to regulate the temperature of nuclear power plants?

Nuclear cooling towers work by releasing excess heat from the nuclear power plant into the atmosphere. Water is used to cool down the hot water from the reactor, which then evaporates and releases heat through the tower. This process helps regulate the temperature of the nuclear power plant and prevent overheating.

How do nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution?

Nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution by releasing heated water back into the environment after being used to cool their systems. This heated water can raise the temperature of the receiving water body, which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and harm aquatic life.


What is the difference between cold fusion and what nuclear power plants do to create energy?

Cold fusion is a theoretical nuclear reaction that supposedly occurs at room temperature, while nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity. Cold fusion has not been reliably demonstrated, while nuclear power plants worldwide successfully use fission to generate a significant portion of electricity.
