To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 35R
Option (A)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The power plants are used to produce electricity by the generation of the
The nuclear power plant converts nuclear energy into thermal energy. The thermal energy produces the steam and this steam generates the electricity by rotating the turbine, so option (A) is correct.
The plutonium, carbon dioxide and water cannot run the turbine in the nuclear power plant to generate electric current, so option (B), option (C) and option (D) are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is A.
