Nuclear power plants don't burn fuel, but you still see large towers emitting water vapor in many of them. Nuclear power plants have a generation cycle in 4 basic steps: Pumping: increases the pressure of a fluid. Boiling: heating up the fluid using the heat from the nuclear reaction Turbine: using the energy from the high temperature and pressure fluid to produce work/electricity and Cooling: the fluid needs to be cooled down so it can be pumped again 4) SPRINGFIELD NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Which of these 4 stages, Pumping, Boiling, Turbine or Cooling do you think the tower is part of and why?

Question 4
### Educational Text on Nuclear Power Plants and Cloud Seeding 3) **Question**: Enter a car parked in the sun on a hot summer day, is it hotter than any other object receiving the same sun? How is this similar to global warming? - **Image Description**: The image features Springfield Nuclear Power Plant with cooling towers visible. These towers are large structures often found at nuclear plants, from which steam is emitted. 4) **Explanation of Nuclear Power Plants**: - Nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, but large towers often emit water vapor. The generation cycle involves four basic steps: - **Pumping**: Increases the pressure of a fluid. - **Boiling**: Heats up the fluid using the heat from the nuclear reaction. - **Turbine**: Uses energy from the high temperature and pressure fluid to produce work/electricity. - **Cooling**: The fluid needs to be cooled down to be pumped once again. - **Discussion**: Identify which of these four stages—Pumping, Boiling, Turbine, or Cooling—you think the tower is part of and why. 5) **Cloud Seeding**: - **Concept**: Cloud seeding is a highly contested technique where an aircraft sprays a chemical such as Dry Ice (CO2) or silver iodide to accelerate cloud formation and promote precipitation. - **Questions**: - **A)** Explain how these chemicals could accelerate cloud formation. - **B)** When clouds form, will the air around them be cooler or warmer, and why? **Course Information**: PHY-111, Prof. Colmenares section – Fall 2021
