If I understand correctly, water is heated up in a reactor, goes through a turbine and in turn creates energy. How exactly does it cause radiation?
In: 0
The radiation is a byproduct of the nuclear fission that releases the heat, which produces the steam to power the turbine etc.
It’s like a campfire: you burn a pile of wood to boil a pot of water, a byproduct of that burning wood is embers that fly off. That’s the radiation.
