CONSTRUCTION OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

in a nuclear power plant the prison of nuclear fuel uranium 235 is carried out in a steel Pressure Vessel of reactor. the enriched uranium 235 rods are inserted in a hole made of graphite block inside the reactor. graphite is called a moderator. it slows down the speed of neutron to make them fit for causing fission. in between the uranium rods are inserted boron rods. boron rods are required to control rod because they absorb excess neutron and prevent the fission reaction from going out of control. boron rods can be raised or lowered in the reactor from outside. the reactor enclosed in a concrete chamber having thick walls to absorb the nuclear radiations. liquid sodium is used as a coolant to transfer the heat produced and directed by season to heat exchanger for converting water into steam.
