The efficiency of a nuclear power plant in comparison to conventional and nuclear consideration is
A
Higher cost of nuclear fuel
B
High initial cost
C
High heat rejection in condenser
D
Lower temperature and pressure conditions
Correct Answer: Lower temperature and pressure conditions
The efficiency of a nuclear power plant in comparison to conventional and nuclear consideration is lower temperature and pressure conditions.Typical nuclear power plants achieve efficiencies around 33 - 37%, comparable to fossil fueled power plants. Higher temperature nuclear reactors could potentially reach above 45% efficiency.
