Nuclear Power Plant Simple Diagram. Many plants contain more than one reactor. Nuclear power plant main parts or component.
Nuclear power station schematic diagram. Unlike a fossil fueled plant the nuclear plants energy does not come from the combustion of fuel but from the fissioning splitting of fuel. Block diagram of nuclear reactor.
Commercial nuclear power plants range in size from about 60 megawatts for the first generation of plants in the early 1960s to over 1000 megawatts.
A very much simplified plant control system is shown in figure 12. It is also used to protect alpha α bita β gama γ rays and neutrons which are bounce back at the time of fission within the reactor. The nuclear reactor is cylindrical type shape. Since the nuclear fission is radioactive the reactor is covered by a protective shield.
