1. Free neutrons in the reactor start the process
2. Two fission fragments collide with surrounding atoms - temperature rises
3. Control rods, boron, limit rate of fission by absorbing excess neutrons
4. Carbon dioxide = pumped through reactor - carries away heat generated
5. gas = passed through heat exchanger - gives energy to H2O. Water = heated - into steam - turns turbines
