The purpose of anuclear Power plant is to produce electricity. It should not be surprising, then, that a Nuclear Power planthas many similarities to other Electrical generating facilities. It should also be obvious that nuclearpower plants have some significant differences from other Concepts ManualNuclear Power for Electrical GenerationUSNRC Technical Training Center1-20703 FlangeStationary CoilRotorElectricalOutputGenerator HousingDrive ShaftELECTRICAL GENERATOROf the several known methods to produce electricity, by far the most practical for large scale productionand distribution involves the use of an Electrical generator.
Turbine Electric Generator Throttle Valve Feedwater Pump Core Steam Generator High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) Another type of reactor uses heliu m gas instead of water as its medi a for removing heat from the core. The only high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) in the United States was the Fort St. Vrain plant in Colorado.
