nuclear reactor.
Answers
ANSWER :
Steps involved in generating electricity:
▶️1. The fuel rods full of uranium pellets are placed in a nuclear reactor chamber.
▶️2. Low-energy neutrons are bombarded on uranium fuel rod.
▶️3. A self-sustaining fission chain reaction starts that releases energy at a controlled rate.
▶️4. With this heat the reactor converts water to steam at a high temperature and pressure.
▶️5. This high temperature and pressure steam spins generator turbines producing electricity.
▶️6. The steam cools back into water, which can then be used over again.
The steps involved in generating electricity in a nuclear reactor are: (i) The controlled fission of uranium-235 in the nuclear reactor produces a lot of heat energy. (ii) Liquid sodium or C02 gas is pumped continuously through the pipes embedded in reactor. Sodium absorbs the heat energy produced in reactor
