Like other water moderated reactors, [[nuclear fission|fission]] reactions in the reactor core heat pressurized water in a ''primary cooling loop''. A [[heat exchanger]] transfers the heat to a ''secondary cooling loop'', which powers a steam [[turbine]] with an [[electrical generator]] attached to it. Any excess heat energy in the steam after flowing through the turbine is rejected into the environment in a variety of ways, most typically into a large body of cool water, such as a lake, river or ocean. Heat can also be disposed of using a [[cooling tower]],
