Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Boiling water nuclear reactor does not require a heat exchanger to supply steam to power turbine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers are found in nuclear power plants for services such as moderator cooling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Power plants use heat exchangers to collect heat from hot waste gases to get power.
Detailed explanation-4: -BWRs heat water and produce steam directly inside the reactor vessel. Water is pumped up through the reactor core and heated by fission. Pipes then feed the steam directly to a turbine to produce electricity. The unused steam is then condensed back to water and reused in the heating process.
