Nuclear power plants are classified according to the type of reactor used.
Nuclear power plants use two types of reactors: thermal and fast neutrons.
Reactors of the first type are subdivided into: boiling, water-water, heavy-water, gas-cooled, graphite-water.
Depending on the type of energy received, nuclear power plants are of two types: Stations designed to generate electricity. Stations for generating electric and thermal energy (ATEC).
Advantages of nuclear power plants: independence from fuel sources; ecological cleanliness.
