Cutaway view of a CANDU multi-unit nuclear power plant. There are three main parts to the plant: the vacuum building, the reactor building and the turbine hall. The image identifies key components and where they are located in the plant. In the vacuum building, we find the dousing tank and pressure relief valves. In the reactor building, we can see the steam generators, the reactor and a collection basin, which is located in the basement of the building. The turbine hall is connected to the reactor building. The image shows the turbines, generator as well of the condenser for cooling water from a lake or sea. Some parts outside of the plant are also identified, namely the air filter system, beside the vacuum building, emergency and standby power generators and a transmission tower.
