Nuclear power station at dusk, with cooling towers venting water vapour (steam) to dissipate waste heat. The pylons (across centre) distribute the electricity to an electricity grid. Nuclear power stations convert the heat from controlled nuclear reactions, into electricity, using steam-driven turbines. Photographed at Gundremmingen, Germany.
