Which coolant is used in kalpakkam nuclear power plant?
Sodium is used as a coolant in kalpakkam nuclear power plant for Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor.
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
All power reactors are thermal reactors except few ones that are fast nuclear reactors.
How fast does nuclear power produce electricity?
With a nuclear reactor running at operating temperature and with all the associated systems on line, the reactor can increase its power output in seconds to accommodate a larger demand for electric power. If we have to start up the reactor and warm up all the steam lines and such, it takes longer to begin to generate electricity. Nuclear power generator plants generate heat, which heats a closed circulating liquid that is radioactive. That heat is transferred to another liquid, which is not radioactive, is converted to steam, which turns turbine generators which generates electricity. Once everything is up and running, it all happens at a fast rate. A much less efficient method, but quicker and less complicated, directs the nuclear plants heat to thermocouples or some similar technology to generate electricity immediately.
How fast does a wind turbine spin?
it depends how windy it is by vysnav.k ;-)
Is nuclear energy dangerous?
The answer to the question is both yes and no. The recent nuclear plant disaster at Japan highlights the lack of safety even in a highly developed country. The Chernobil disaster at Russia is still vivid in our mind. With absence of adequate safety measures, radiation leakage from a nuclear plant may cause havoc to the vast populace. On the other hand, nuclear energy is the most pollution free and unending source of energy, when thermal power source from coal is going to exhaust fast. From cost consideration, nuclear energy though it may seem costly, will ultimately prove to be cost friendly and beneficial to mankind in the long run, in comparison to thermal and hydro power energy.

Is nuclear power generated fast?
yes
How do you turn Turbine Blades?
Turbine blades turn by the winds power so if its windy they turn fast if it is not windy at all they don't turn
How fast do humans use nuclear power?
As fast as it is produced, there is no way to store it.
How fast does a power plant generator spin?
14 mph
What are people doing about the nuclear meltdowns?
The nuclear power plants are filled with water to keep the atoms from splitting too fast inside the nuclear rod. Because of the earthquake in Japan, the nuclear power plants lost a lot of water in them, which is making the atoms split too fast. Radiation is now leaking from the plants, so crews are going in and dumping seawater into the nuclear plants to cool down the rods.
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
All power reactors are thermal reactors except few ones that are fast nuclear reactors.
How fast does a turbine have to turn to create electricity?
This all depends on firstly how the turbine is built, and how large the turbine is. Please add more detail.
What state was the first nuclear power plant in?
EBR-1 in Idaho, a fast breeder reactor was the first prototype nuclear power plant in 1951. However being only a prototype it could only power a small bank of lightbulbs inside the control building.APS-1 Obninsk southwest of Moscow, a graphite moderated reactor (predecessor to the RBMK at Chernobyl) went on the main power grid in 1954.BORAX III in Idaho, a boiling water moderated reactor powered the town of Arco for one night in 1955.
How fast does a nuclear fusion reactor work?
Do you mean how much power does it produce? None are working as yet.
What can we design to stop industrial pollution?
Fast neutron nuclear reactors, among other new Nuclear technologies. Nuclear power is the cleanest most efficient power source. Reducing burning of fossil fuels will significantly reduce pollution in the atmosphere.
