How Nuclear Power Plant Works ?
1) In a nuclear reactor, fuel rods full of uranium pellets are placed in water.
2) Inside the fuel rods, uranium atoms split, releasing energy.
3) This energy heats water, creating steam.
4) The steam moves through a turbine, which turns a generator to create electricity.
5) The steam cools back into water, which can then be used over again. At some nuclear power plants, extra heat is released from a cooling tower.
