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.
States. The total generation is approximately 3,800 thousand gigawatt-hours. For comparison purposes, nuclear ge neration accounts for the following of the total electrical production in some other countries: 75% in France, 46% in Sweden, 43% in Ukraine, 39% in south Korea, 30% in Germany, and 30% in Japan.
