Interactive simulation mapping the reactor core, multi-loop heat exchange, adjustable coolant pump speeds, turbine generation, and cooling water dynamics.
Detailed structural analysis of the pressurized water reactor (PWR) loop contained within the reinforced confinement shell.
Houses enriched nuclear fuel assemblies. Neutron-absorbing control rods are lowered or raised dynamically to control fission rates and core reactivity.
High-pressure water absorbs intense thermal energy from the core and is forced through the steam generator via heavy-duty coolant pumps.
Isolates radioactive primary water from secondary loops while transferring thermal energy to vaporize secondary water into clean high-pressure steam.
Expansion of steam drives the turbine rotor linked to the electric generator. Exhaust steam is cooled back into liquid via external water sources.
