I’m new to nuclear, is my diagram accurate for a steam reactor?
IMG 2 is missing a few things and simply shows control rods at 100% insertion.
I really just play Roblox games about power plants so that’s where my knowledge comes from. I was just wondering if my understanding of reactors is accurate.
• Feedwater goes to the core and heats up into steam, which powers a turbine, the steam then returns to FW or is released into the atmosphere. (I don’t know which one)
• Coolant goes into the core which (obviously) cools it. It’s then recycled back into coolant go back again.
• Generators keep pumps for coolant and feedwater running, but during maintenance or a malfunction, the facility can switch to their turbine grid, which I labeled auxiliary (but I’m not sure if aux is the correct term for turbine power)
• control rods go into the core with a special material (I believe granite?) to slow the reaction to cool the core. SCRAM puts all rods in at once.
I’d appreciate anyone who reads this all and gives feedback and corrections! Also yes, I know I forgot reactor fuel (uranium 235?), but I don’t know how refueling the core works so I didn’t bother.
