Science

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Components in a nuclear power station (9)

Condenser

Functions of boron control rods in nuclear stations

Control the rate of nuclear fission reaction by absorbing surplus neutrons

Functions of graphite moderator in nuclear stations

Slows down the neutrons

Functions of uranium fuel rods in nuclear stations

Release heat energy through nuclear fission to heat up gas flowing through the reactor core

Functions of concrete shield in nuclear stations

Prevent radioactive radiation leakage from the reactor

Functions of cooling agent in nuclear stations

Absorbs heat produced by the nuclear reaction

Functions of turbine in nuclear stations

The turbine is rotated by steam causing magnets in the generator to spin

Functions of condenser in nuclear stations

Cools and condenses steam into water

Functions of electricity generator in nuclear stations

Generates the electricity through the process of electromagnetic induction when magnets spin inside a coil

First town in the world to use electricity generated by nuclear power stations

Arco, Idaho in the United States
