Patent ID: 8820077

Claim:
A saturated steam or weakly superheated steam thermodynamic cycle, in an electricity generating plant, comprising: at least a nuclear energy source, and a turbine including: at least a high-pressure module, a medium-pressure module, and a low-pressure module, wherein the steam flows successively through the high-pressure, medium-pressure and the low-pressure modules, the steam undergoes a first drying and/or superheating cycle between the high-pressure and medium-pressure modules, and the steam undergoes a second cycle that includes at least one drying process between the medium-pressure module and the low-pressure module, and wherein the superheating in the first drying and/or superheating cycle is provided by using steam taken from a first steam bleed point of the high-pressure module and the superheating in the second cycle is provided by using steam taken from a second steam bleed point of the high-pressure module.
