Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
Concept:
The steam produced in the nuclear power plant is in the Heat exchanger.
Steam generators are large shell and tube heat exchangers, containing several thousand tubes. They transfer heat from the primary reactor coolant to the secondary side to produce steam, which then powers turbine generators to produce electricity.
Most nuclear power plants have 2 to 6 steam generators per reactor.
Reactor: It is a device that can initiate and control a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions.
