Nuclear power plants use two types of reactors: thermal and fast neutrons.

Reactors of the first type are subdivided into: boiling, water-water, heavy-water, gas-cooled, graphite-water.

Depending on the type of energy received, nuclear power plants are of two types: Stations designed to generate electricity. Stations for generating electric and thermal energy (ATEC).

Advantages of nuclear power plants: independence from fuel sources; ecological cleanliness.

]]> Nuclear power plant (NPP) – a station in which the production of electricity (or thermal energy) occurs due to the operation of a nuclear reactor. In 2015, all nuclear power plants in the world produced almost 11% of electricity. During operation, a nuclear reactor transfers energy to the primary coolant. This coolant enters the steam generator, where it heats the water in the secondary circuit. In the steam generator, water is converted into steam, which enters the turbine and drives the electric generators. The steam after the turbine enters the condenser, where it is cooled with water from the reservoir. Mainly water is used as the primary coolant. However, for this purpose, you can also use lead, sodium and other liquid metal coolants. The number of NPP circuits can be different.
