The diagram illustrates how power is generated in a nuclear power station. The process begins with uranium fuel heating water and ends with electricity being delivered to homes and offices. There is also a system to stop overheating.
To begin with, the nuclear fuel is kept in a containment building to prevent it from escaping. The fuel is passed through two generators, which heats the water inside them, turning it into steam. Next, the steam travels along pipes to a turbine and spins it, which produces electricity in a connected generator. After that, the power passes through a transformer and then through power lines, where it is delivered to homes and so on.
The remaining part of the process is a cooling system. Firstly, an outside water source is connected to the turbine by pipes, allowing water to pass around the turbine and prevent it from becoming too hot. Finally, the steam produced by this process is released into the air through a cooling tower.
