Question

Beyond the nuclear reactor, the working of a nuclear power plant is similar to that of,

• A. a thermal power plants.
• B. a hydroelectric power plants.
• C. a solar PV power plant.
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A a thermal power plants.

The thermal power plant and a nuclear power plant, both convert heat energy into electricity. The source and method of production of heat energy are different in both of them.

Thermal power plant produces heat energy by means of combustion of fuel; while the nuclear power plant derives heat from the nuclear fission reaction that takes place in the nuclear reactor.

So, except the source and method of production of heat energy, the rest of the working of both plants are similar.

Hence, $\left(A\right)$ is the correct answer.
