What else can I help you with?
How are breeder reactors and nuclear reactor different?
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
What are feeder reactors?
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
When was Experimental Breeder Reactor I created?
Experimental Breeder Reactor I was created in 1950.
What is produced from uranium-238 in a breeder reactor?
In a breeder reactor, uranium-238 absorbs a neutron and transmutes into plutonium-239, which is a fissile material that can sustain a nuclear chain reaction. This plutonium-239 can then be used as fuel in the reactor to produce energy.
Do Breeder reactor and nuclear reactor have similarities?
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
How are breeder reactors different from regular nuclear reactors?
A breeder reactor generates (in a way) new fuel, sometimes more fuel than it uses, by converting non-fissionable isotopes into fissionable isotopes, through neutron capture.
Who invented the breeder reactor?
The person who invented the Breeder Reactor in the 1950s was by a team led by Walter Zinn
When did North Korea breeder reactor start?
A breeder reactor is generally defined as a power generating reactor that breeds at least sufficient plutonium to replace the U235/Pu which it has consumed. To the best of my knowledge, North Korea does not have such a reactor.
What type of reactor makes more fissionable material?
A breeder reactor
Does a breeder nuclear reactor use moderator?
No, a breeder nuclear reactor does not typically use a moderator. Breeder reactors are designed to produce more fissile material than they consume by using fast neutrons to convert non-fissile isotopes into fissile ones without slowing down the neutrons.
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
Does breeder reactor consists of fission reaction?
yes
