How does a boiling water nuclear fission reactor produce electricity?

question 3 options:

enriched uranium is added to boiling water to create steam. a generator transforms this hydropower into electricity. the control rods are used to monitor the boiling temperature of the water.

metal control rods containing cadmium generate energy used to boil water through a fission reaction. the boiled water is fed to a turbine that turns a generator to produce electricity.

enriched uranium produces a continuous source of energy through a chain reaction that is controlled by control rods. the energy boils water to create steam, which powers a turbine that turns a generator to produce electricity.

the absorption of neutrons by control rods generates the energy needed to make steam from water. the steam is then fed to a generator through a turbine to transform mechanical energy into electricity.

The answer is: C: Enriched uranium produces a continuous source of energy through a chain reaction that is controlled by control rods. The energy boils water to create steam, which powers a turbine that turns a generator to produce electricity.  

I took the quiz earlier. + I did 3.08 a while back.

Hope this helps! :)

A nuclear reactor generates and monitors the discharging of energy from dividing the atoms of uranium. The nuclear power fueled with uranium is an effective and clean way of boiling water to produce steam that drives the turbine generators.  

In the core of the reactor, the isotope, that is, uranium-235 divides or fissions, generating ample amount of heat in a spontaneous manner known as a chain reaction. The procedure relies upon the existence of a moderator like graphite or water and is completely controlled.  

The reactor core is present within a steel pressure vessel, so that the water surrounding it remains in the liquid form, even when the temperature is operating at over 320 degree Celsius. The formation of steam takes place either in a separate pressure vessel or in the reactor core, and this mediates the turbine to generate electricity.  

Hence, the correct statement is enriched uranium produces a continuous source of energy through a chain reaction that is controlled by control rods. The energy boils water to create steam, which powers a turbine that turns a generator to produce electricity.

i believe the answer is a.

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
