A nuclear power plant consists of a primary system , which generates and transfers energy to the secondary system, where steam is turned into electricity.
Steam generators link the primary and secondary systems.
Part Function Steam generators Steam generators produce steam from secondary system feedwater heated by primary system reactor coolant. Turbine Turbines transform steam into mechanical energy to turn the generator. Generator A generator produces electricity. Condenser Condenser removes heat from turbine steam exhaust and converts it to water. Condensate pumps Condensate pumps move condensate to feedwater heaters.
