a system in which energy released by fission reactions is captured and used for the generation of electricity
a thermal plant in that steam is produced by a nuclear reaction and used to drive a conventional steam turbine
A facility in which heat produced in a reactor by nuclear fission is used to drive a steam turbine.
Any device that converts nuclear energy into electrical power. Many nuclear power plants use the energy from fission to produce steam (directly or indirectly) to drive a turboelectric generator thereby generating electricity. Acronym: NPP. Related to nuclear reactor.
A large electric power generating facility that uses nuclear fuel as its source of energy.
An electrical generating facility using a nuclear reactor as its heat source to provide steam to a turbine generator.
A nuclear power plant (NPP) is a thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors.
