Net efficiency of ordinary light water cooled nuclear reactor is about _____________ percent?

Correct answer: A. 32

  • A. 32
  • B. 52
  • C. 72
  • D. 88

Explanation

A light-water reactor is limited by the steam-cycle temperature and pressure, giving a net thermal efficiency of roughly 30 to 35 percent. Therefore 32 percent is the realistic value, not the much higher alternatives.
