What are the major parts of a nuclear powerplant?

In simple terms, the fuel(Uranium) inside the core surrounded by coolant(water) which is cirulated out to the steam generators then back to the core. The steam generators transfer their heat to a separate water system to create steam to run turbins.


How is water is used in nuclear power generation?

Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.


What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.
