How is the heat generated by the reactor core of a nuclear power plant used to provide power to buildings? a. It is used directly to heat homes and offices. b. It generates steam, which turns a turbine, powering a generator. c. It generates steam, which is then condensed back to water. This process produces energy. d. All of the above

In a nuclear power plant, heat generated through the nuclear fission reaction is used to convert water into steam. The steam formed possess kinetic energy which is then directed towards the turbine of the generator. This high speed steam rotate the turbine which in turn rotates coil connected to it. This coil is placed between two magnets. Thus, an AC current is produced by the coil when it rotates between the magnets.

Hence, option B is correct.
