The efficiency of a nuclear power plant in comparison to a conventional thermal power plant is
A. Same
B. More
C. Less
D. May be less or mote depending on size
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The efficiency of a nuclear power plant in comparison to a conventional thermal power plant is less.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.
