Reactor - Boiling Water

: Enriched uranium fuel in the reactor core undergoes nuclear fission, releasing massive amounts of heat.

: This steam travels through pipes directly to a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. boiling water reactor

: Before exiting the reactor vessel, the mixture passes through steam separators and dryers to remove water droplets, ensuring only "dry" steam moves forward. : Enriched uranium fuel in the reactor core
