What else can I help you with?
What type of reactor produces more fuel than it consumes?
a fission nuclear reactor -binky
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
What does fission happen in?
Nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
Parts of nuclear reactor where nuclear fission occurs?
core
Which section of a nuclear reactor does nuclear fission occurs?
The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a device that initiates and controls a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This reaction produces heat, which is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. The fission process in these reactors generates energy by splitting atomic nuclei.
How is nuclear fission initiated in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission in a nuclear reactor is initiated by bombarding uranium or plutonium atoms with neutrons, causing them to split and release more neutrons, which then continue the chain reaction.
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
How do control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission?
Control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission by absorbing neutrons, which are needed to sustain the fission process. By adjusting the position of the control rods, operators can control the number of neutrons available to cause fission reactions, thus regulating the overall power output of the reactor.
What is nuclear energies most common use?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
