Nuclear Power Station

Nuclear power plants, a kind of thermal power plants because it works the same principle is the generation of steam heat and works in steam to rotate turbines which in turn spin the rotor of the generator and the electric power generated on the edge of the fixed portion of the generator.

The difference in nuclear generating stations that instead of the oven where the burning fuel is here reactor generated heat due to the splitting of uranium atoms strikes electrons moving in the outer layer of the atom and use the energy enormous boiling water in the boilers and converted to steam with high pressure and a very high degree.

Contains the power plant nuclear atomic pile that needs to be a barrier and protective of atomic radiation, which consists of a layer of brick firewall and a layer of water and a layer of steel and a layer of cement up to the thickness of two meters in order to protect workers at the plant and the surrounding environment from pollution radiation watchdog.

That the first nuclear thermal power station in the world carried out in 1954 and was in the Soviet Union card 5 MW. .

And nuclear generating stations not used in the Arab countries so far. However, thermal power plants, steam used heavily on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Gulf in the generation of electricity and water desalination.
