Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy is made using complex chemical reactions. By taking uranium pellets and putting them into long rods the process of fission occurs. Fission is a process that creates extreme heat when an atom collides with an uranium nuclei. This nuclear process can be stopped by the use of extra rods made out of boron and silver. All of the rods are kept in the nuclear reactor core of the power plant. These rods are kept under water in one of the buildings of the power plant. When they heat up they produce steam. This steam travels through a group of tubes called the instrument air system. This then leads the steam into the steam generator which directs it to the turbine. The steam then turns the turbine producing electricity. After the steam goes through the turbine it goes to the cooling tower to be make back into water to start the process over again.
