The moderator used in the nuclear reactor at Madras atomic power station in Kalpakkam is?
Heavy water(PHWR)--Pressurised heavy water reactor
Which is used as moderator in nuclear reactor?
Most often, light water (H2O) is used as a moderator in a nuclear reactor. Sometimes, heavy water (D2O), or graphite is used.
Name one type of nuclear reactor?
CANDU, a reactor type designed in Canada which uses heavy water as the primary coolant.
What is used to bathe the control rods and fuel bundles of the nuclear reactor?
Heavy water
What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
Introduction of nuclear fission and fission?
It is a process, in which a heavy nucleus is broken down in to two or more medium heavy fragments. It is used in nuclear reactor and atom bomb.
What are the moderator used in a nuclear reactor with natural uranium?
The moderator used in nuclear reactors with natural uranium is generally the heavy water (D2O).
Do substance is used as moderator in modern nuclear reactor?
Water (H2), or heavy water (D2O). Sometimes, liquid sodium is used.
Are people allowed to leave from North Korea?
No people are not allowed to leave North Korea, they can escape to South Korea, but risk being shot, or if caught trying to escape North Korea they can get heavy punishment, so the only way to get out of North Korea if your North Korean is to escape out of North Korea secretly, and go to South Korea, via another country that can give you asylum.
What is nuclear energy examples?
Mainly:Nuclear power plantsAtomic bombsradioisotopes and radiotracers used in medicine, industry, and agriculturenuclear submarinesnuclear research reactorsnuclear fusion research
State different names of thermal power plant?
Different types of nuclear plants: Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); Boiling Water Reactor (BWR); Heavy Water Moderated Reactor (CANDU); Advanced Gascooled Reactor (AGR); Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR); Pebble Bed Gascooled Reactor; Water Cooled Graphite Reactor (RBMK). There are other ideas that only exist on paper.
In nuclear reactor heavy water is used as?
Heavy water (deuterium) functions as a moderator. It slows down fast neutrons released by fission reactions in order to allow the reaction to be sustained. Fast neutrons pass through the reactor before initiating another fission reaction.
