]]> 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.

A hydroelectric power plant (HPP) is a power plant that converts the energy of moving water into electrical energy. Hydroelectric power plants are being installed on rivers. With the help of the dam, a water height difference is created (before and after the dam). The resulting water pressure drives the turbine blades. The turbine drives generators that generate electricity.

Depending on the capacity of the generated electricity, hydroelectric power plants are divided into: small (up to 5 MW), medium (5-25 MW) and powerful (over 25 MW). According to the maximum used pressure, they are divided into: low-pressure (maximum pressure – from 3 to 25 m), medium-pressure (25-60 m) and high-pressure (over 60 m). Hydroelectric power plants are also classified according to the principle of using natural resources: dam, near dam, diversion and pumped storage.
