Front

What is the function of a condenser in a power plant?

Back

The function of a condenser is to collect the condensate from steam after it has passed through the turbine.

Front

What is the process of nuclear fission?

Back

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei, releasing energy.

Front

What role does a turbine play in a nuclear power plant?

Back

A turbine converts the thermal energy from steam into mechanical energy, which is then used to generate electricity.

Front

What is the purpose of a feedwater system in a power plant?

Back

The feedwater system supplies water to the steam generator or boiler to produce steam.

Front

What is the significance of the cooling system in a nuclear power plant?

Back

The cooling system removes excess heat from the reactor and prevents overheating.

Front

What is the role of a generator in a power plant?

Back

A generator converts mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
