Best Answer

It is produced in the fuel rods by fission of the U235 nuclei. Each fission produces a certain amount of heat, and this is transferred to the water or gas which is pumped past the fuel, by contact heat transfer.

What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?

This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.


How is the heat produced in a nuclear reactor changed into useful energy?

Heat produced I'm a nuclear reactor turns water into steam that moves a massive turbine that my moving, produces energy. Water is then cooled and heated again to produce steam. Process keeps respecting itself.
