____________ nuclear reactor does not require a heat exchanger to supply steam to power turbine?
Correct answer: A. Boiling water
- A. Boiling water
- B. Helium cooled
- C. Molten sodium cooled
- D. Pressurised water
Explanation
In a boiling-water reactor, water boils inside the reactor vessel and the generated steam goes directly to the turbine, so a separate steam-generating heat exchanger is not required. Pressurised-water and many other reactor systems transfer heat through a secondary loop.
