What else can I help you with?
Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
How many reactors usually work in nuclear power plants?
Most plants have two reactors but some have more
Does nuclear reactors contain uranium-235?
It really depends on the nuclear reactor, but many are built to work specifically with that isotope.
What caused the nuclear power plant in japan to explode?
The pumps that were supposed to keep the nuclear reactors cool failed to work because the earthquake broke them
Does uranium need to be enriched in order to be used in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, uranium needs to be enriched in order to be used in a nuclear reactor. Enrichment increases the concentration of uranium-235, the isotope necessary for sustained nuclear reactions in most reactors. Natural uranium is primarily composed of uranium-238, which needs to be converted to uranium-235 through enrichment processes.
What year was nuclear power invented?
1933, but it was not until after WW2 ended that work was begun on designing usable power reactors.
How do nuclear fusion reactors work?
I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.
Does nuclear reactors work by means of fusion of radioactive materials?
No, not at all, they work by fission of fissionable materials (very few) like U-235 and Pu-239
What type of work do people in nuclear engineer perform?
They are supposed to design reactors such that when a water pipe breaks or the power fails, the generating station does not explode.
Is nuclear fusion used for nuclear power?
No, not yet. Maybe in another 20 years when its perfected (which they have been saying every 20 years since they originally began work in the 1950s on lab prototypes of controlled nuclear fusion reactors for power generation).
How are robots useful for humans?
In future, when roots can be used both in homes and in other areas, it couldimprove the standard of living of people.
Will Iran drop nuclear bombs?
Iran's nuclear program began in the Shah's era, including a plan to build 20 nuclear power reactors. Two power reactors in Bushehr, on the coast of the Persian Gulf, were started but remained unfinished when they were bombed and damaged by the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war. Following the revolution in 1979, all nuclear activity was suspended, though subsequently work was resumed on a somewhat more modest scale. having nuclear bomb is not for using it . it is to prevent other countries to use it against each other.
