What else can I help you with?
Are lasers used for nuclear reactors?
No, at least not for power reactors
What can be used as a substitute for nuclear reactors?
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Why is plutonium in a nuclear power sation?
Plutonium is used in nuclear power stations as a fuel in some types of reactors, like fast breeder reactors. It can undergo fission to produce energy. Additionally, plutonium can be created as a byproduct in nuclear reactors, which can then be reprocessed and reused as fuel.
Examples of where the energy from uranium?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors.
Why are breeder reactors not used widely in the nuclear power industry?
Breeder reactors are not widely used in the nuclear power industry due to concerns about safety, high costs of construction and operation, potential for nuclear proliferation, and public perception of nuclear energy.
Where is fission used by humans?
In nuclear reactors, there are over 400 operating power reactors world wide
Is nuclear power still used?
In the US between 25 and 30 percent of the electrical power is supplied by Nuclear Reactors.
Are shunt reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Answer 1. The only shunt reactors I know are used on transmission lines to alter power factor. This is nothing to do with the nuclear reactor in a power plant.Answer 2. I agree. Shunt reactors are use on transmission line and EHV to boost voltage, to generate VARs and for power factor correction.
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Which power uses uranium?
Uranium (as dioxide or carbide) is used as fuel for nuclear power reactors.
