The layout of nuclear power plants<\/a> comprises two major parts: The nuclear island<\/a> and the conventional (turbine) island. The nuclear island is the heart of the nuclear power plant. On the other hand, the conventional (turbine) island<\/strong> houses the key component, which extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and converts it into electrical energy. This device is called the turbine generator.<\/strong> The turbine generator is in the turbine building and contains most of the main components of the thermodynamic cycle. Only the steam generators<\/a> are situated in the reactor building (the nuclear island). <\/span>\n

Since the conventional power plants (e.g.,, fossil-fuel power plants) use very similar technology to convert thermal energy into electrical energy, this part of the nuclear power plant is called \u201cconventional island\u201d<\/strong>. In comparison to conventional power plants, the conventional island at nuclear power plants must fulfill <\/span>the significantly stricter specification on quality assurance and control that applies to even conventional parts of the nuclear power plant due to their impact on the nuclear systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key components of the conventional island are:<\/span><\/p>\n
