Friday Nuclear Matinee: Nuclear Power – How It Works by pbowersox

With Unit 6 returning from a planned maintenance outage earlier this week, all 8 reactors at the world's largest nuclear electrical generating station are now online, generating emission-free electricity from the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station in Ontario, Canada ("Full Power at the Bruce").

So... who better to demonstrate "How Nuclear Power Works" than Ontario Power Generation, owners of "The Bruce" (and owner/operators of the Pickering and Darlington nuclear generating stations)?  Unless it would be Bruce Power, licensed developers and operators of the Bruce station.  But let's start here with a fine feature by OPG.  Enjoy!

(also including bonus features on Hydroelectric Power and Thermal Power which are quite interesting in their own right)

Thanks to Ontario Power Generation
