  Steam turbine is steam turbine no matter where steam comes from

    You'd think so but that's not the case. Anyway the problem is mostly an independance one and there was no other French companies doing this.

      What characteristic does steam turbine at nuclear plant have that is different from steam turbine at coal power plant? I’ve worked on steam turbine before that had boiler fed from bio-fuel or kerosene. Is the turbine itself not just a shaft with a series of blades, an inlet and an outlet? Any specifics you can get in to would be very interesting to me! Thanks
