as a neutron reflector to allow use of a smaller core
There may be Radium, Thorium, Uranium or even Plutonium which can be used in nuclear reactors.
In test reactors.
Beryllium is a neutron-reflective metallic substance that has been used in the making of nuclear weapons. As a veteran of the US Navy, I cannot confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons on this, or any other naval ship or station... Since I was not in the "nuke" department (many navy vessels have nuclear propulsion) I'm not sure if it is used in the construction of reactors. Usually, any attempt by a group or an individual to acquire beryllium will result in attracting the attention of the local intelligence agency... For more detailed info on the properties of beryllium, please see link below:
Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Nuclear Weapons Nuclear Reactors Nuclear Batteries
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
No, at least not for power reactors
There may be Radium, Thorium, Uranium or even Plutonium which can be used in nuclear reactors.
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
Nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Nuclear reactors.
In test reactors.
Radioisotopes for many uses (e.g. medical, industrial, scientific) are produced in nuclear reactors.
In some reactors it is, depends on the design.
