What else can I help you with?
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
Is magnetic resonance resulting from nuclear reactor?
No, a nuclear reactor produces thermal energy and ionising radiation, no magnetic effects.
What produces thermal energy by concentration sunlight?
Nuclear reactor
Which form of radiation is used to directly INCREASE the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor?
The form of radiation used to increase the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor is thermal radiation. This radiation is generated by the nuclear fission process occurring in the reactor core, which produces heat that is transferred to the water to create steam for electricity generation.
Is thermal energy found in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
What do you call the layer of lead around the core of a nuclear reactor?
It is called thermal shield
What is a nuclear powerstation?
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station. The heat source is nuclear reactor. Its main point is to produce electricity.
What do you have to do to get nuclear energy?
You have to build a nuclear reactor which is an assembly of nuclear fuel and a moderator, which enables a chain fission reaction to start and continue, which releases thermal energy.
What does a nuclear reactor supply?
It supplies thermal energy which can then be used by fairly conventional power producing equipment
Do moderator in nuclear reactor slows down the neutrons emitted during fission?
Yes, it is the main moderator function in what is called "thermal nuclear reactors"
What is the functions of a nuclear reactor?
Usually to provide thermal power in order to produce electricity, sometimes to produce radioisotopes
Where does nuclear to thermal to electrical current occur?
Nuclear to thermal energy conversion happens inside a nuclear reactor through fission processes which produce heat. This thermal energy is then used to generate steam in a heat exchanger. The steam drives a turbine connected to an electric generator, converting the thermal energy into electrical current.
