Nuclear Fission and Steam - Steam Culture

On today's episode of Steam Culture, Brent is going nuclear and will be explaining how nuclear power generates steam.

While Brent is no nuclear physicist, he boils down the basics in a way that is easy to understand. It all starts with two main kinds of reactors: a boiling water reactor and a pressurized water reactor. It ends with steam turning a turbine and making electricity!

Watch the video to learn more about how steam generators are used in nuclear plants.
