Q125

Of the following, which does not belong to a nuclear reactor ?

  1. (a) A turbine
  2. (b) A heat exchanger
  3. (c) A mechanism to reduce CO2CO_{2} emissionCorrect answer
  4. (d) A reaction chamber

Solution.

Answer: (c) A mechanism to reduce CO2CO_{2} emission

  1. A nuclear power system uses a reaction chamber/core, heat-transfer equipment and a turbine for power conversion.
  2. A separate mechanism specifically to reduce CO₂ emissions is not a standard reactor component.
  3. Nuclear generation’s low direct CO₂ emissions follow from its energy source.
