Summary

Description
English: Video diagram detailing the inner workings of a nuclear reactor : pressurized water type .

Water is heated through the splitting of uranium atoms in the reactor core . The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling , produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity . Cooling water from the river condenses the steam back into water. The river water is either discharged directly back to the river or cooled in the towers and reused in the plant.
