nuclear ESCAPE GAME

start

to revise your course on nuclear energy

THE MISSION

you need to find out the ways to restart the nuclear powerplant to win the escape game

THE base

Find the clue you need to keep moving forward

QUESTION 1/3

Fission

What is the type of reaction needed to make a nuclear powerplant start warking ?

Fusion

QUESTION 2/3

Radium

what material is use in nuclear central ?

Uranium

QUESTION 3/3

300° - 330°

At what max temperatur do you should set the uranium bar ?

340° - 370°

THE nuclear center

Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electrical energy. The process relies on the heat released by fission to produce steam which turns a turbine connected to an electric generator

Find the clue you need to keep moving forward

QUESTION 1/3

a turbine turns an electric generator

how is electricity produced ?

Fission creates an electric current

QUESTION 2/3

the turbine turns with electricity

How the turbine turns ?

the turbine turns with the steam produced by fission

the turbine turns with wind

the base

The nuclear reactor core is where fission takes place Nuclear reactors are designed to maintain a critical balance of the chain reaction. This means that there are a controlled number of fissions occurring at each moment.

The heat produced by nuclear fission is transferred to a liquid which circulates around the reactor. This heated fluid then passes through a heat exchanger, where it transmits its heat to a second water circuit which transforms into steam.

Advantages of Nuclear Energy Low CO₂ Emissions Nuclear energy produces very few greenhouse gas emissions, making it an attractive option for combating climate change. Energy Efficiency A small amount of nuclear fuel can generate a massive amount of energy. For example, 1 gram of enriched uranium can produce as much energy as a ton of coal. Stable Energy Supply Unlike renewable energy sources such as wind or solar, nuclear power plants can produce electricity continuously, 24 hours a day, ensuring a stable energy supply even during periods of high demand.

Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy Radioactive Waste Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored for thousands of years. Managing this waste is one of the main challenges associated with nuclear energy. Risk of Accidents Although rare, severe accidents such as those at Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011) have highlighted the potential dangers of nuclear energy in case of failure. High Costs Building a nuclear power plant requires significant initial investments, and the costs of decommissioning a plant at the end of its life are also very high.
