70% to pass

Desuperheated steam can be found at the _______________.

Amain steam stop
Bgenerator steam stop
Cspray attemperator outlet
Dhigh pressure turbine steam chest
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) spray attemperator outlet. Desuperheated steam can be found at the spray attemperator outlet because the spray attemperator is a device used to lower the temperature of superheated steam by injecting a small amount of condensate or feedwater into the steam flow. This process of desuperheating the steam occurs at the spray attemperator outlet, where the cooled, desuperheated steam exits the device. The other options are incorrect because the main steam stop, generator steam stop, and high pressure turbine steam chest are not locations where desuperheated steam is typically found. These components are associated with the distribution and use of superheated steam, not the desuperheating process.
