Question

10. Write the principle of generation of electric power by a boiling water type nuclear
Name the coolant used in such a reactor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a boiling water reactor, water heated by nuclear fission boils and turns into steam which powers a generator. The steam is then turned back into water by a condenser and used again. The most common type of nuclear power reactor is a pressurised water reactor

Nuclear reactors operate on the principle of nuclear fission, the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller fragments. The nuclear fragments are in very excited states and emit neutrons, other subatomic particles, and photons.
