sorry if that not a correct question but that the question i need for my essay
The basics of a nuclear power station are: The nuclear reactor, comprising of: - The fuel cell (Uranium / Plutonium) - The control rods (keep reaction rate at critical level) -Moderators (For uranium, they slow down the neutrons, and so keep the reaction going) - Some form of coolant You also need a heat exchanger system, this may be done through direct heating of the water by the reactor (if it as used as a coolant) or through heating of the water by use of CO2 gas This then heats water, which turns a turbine. To keep the reaction safe, there will also be a lot of control machinery, with automated shut-down systems, and programmed containement procedures
