How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Why moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor?
Moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor because there is no need to slow down neutron energy. Nuclear fission takes place at high energy of neutrons.
Difference between breeder reactors and nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor is different from the breeder reactor because it generates energy through fission. Historically, in order to be called a breeder, a reactor must be specifically designed to create more fissile material than it consumes. this is what I've looked up and been able to find
What controls the fission reaction within a reactor core?
High neutron capture elements (e.g Boron, Cadmium ) are used to control fission reaction.
Which elements are used for nuclear reactors in India?
Uranium. There is some interest in using thorium in the future. Thorium cannot be used directly as fuel in a reactor as it does not fission, it requires a fast breeder reactor to convert it to Uranium-233 which does fission.
What is the part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
The uranium 235 atoms in the nuclear fuel are what actually fission, or split into two other atoms. The uranium is in ceramic fuel pellets that are inserted into fuel rods, that make up fuel elements, that are in the reactor core that is located in the reactor vessel of the nuclear power plant. After the fuel has been in the reactor it begins to produce plutonium 239 atoms within the fuel which will also undergo a fission reaction.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
When was Experimental Breeder Reactor I created?
Experimental Breeder Reactor I was created in 1950.
What is the meaning of nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
What is fission cross section in nuclear reactor?
The fission cross section in a nuclear reactor is a measure of the probability that a neutron will induce fission in a particular nucleus. It is a crucial parameter for determining the neutron flux and reaction rates within the reactor core. Different isotopes have different fission cross sections depending on their ability to undergo fission when struck by a neutron.
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
The part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction is called the reactor core. This is where the nuclear fuel, such as uranium or plutonium, is housed and where the chain reaction occurs to produce heat energy.
