Question

Nuclear reactions in a reactor produce a lot of thermal energy. That energy then flows and warms up water, which boils and produces steam. The steam then turns turbines that generate electricity. Which statement below can be made about the production of electricity in a nuclear reactor? Heat flows in the form of electricity. Heat flows from the reactor to the water. The water produces heat. The steam produces heat.

Answer 1

I know that because of nuclear fission graphite rod get heated and graphite rod get connected with water tank. In that water is boiling the stream goes up and move the turbine

Answer 2

Answer is option (2) Heat flows from the reactor to the water.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is a part of internal energy which is transferred from one item to the other item.

Generally, heat flows form a hotter area to a colder area.  During nuclear reactions, heat generated in the reactor (hot) is transferred to the water (cold).
