There are 1. Light water reactors. PWR and BWR, 2. Heavy water reactors, CANDU mainly, 3. Gas cooled reactors, mainly magnox and AGR in the UK, possibly pebble bed reactors not yet built 4. 'Fast' reactors which do not use moderators, liquid metal cooled. 5. Small research reactors also used to produce radioisotopes for medical and industrial use.
There are a few other diverse types like the Russian RBMK (Chernobyl), now obsolete.
What else can I help you with?
Most of the nuclear power plants currently operating in the US are classified as.....?
Most nuclear power plants currently operating in the US are classified as pressurized water reactors (PWRs). These reactors use water as both a coolant and moderator to generate electricity through nuclear fission. PWRs are the most common type of nuclear reactor in use worldwide.
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
How many nuclear reactors are in the world?
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
How many nuclear reactors does France have?
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
What are the sources of nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors are built. Therefore the source is the country that commissioned and built them.
What is about nuclear reactors that evokes hope in some and dread in others?
nuclear reactors that evokes dread
How many nuclear reactors are there in India India?
As of 2021, India has 22 operational nuclear reactors across seven nuclear power plants. India has plans to increase its nuclear energy capacity through the construction of additional reactors in the coming years.
Where does nuclear power happen?
In nuclear reactors
