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
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
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.
