The part of a nuclear reactor in which the fuel is located is called the?
core
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
What is the part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
The uranium 235 atoms in the nuclear fuel are what actually fission, or split into two other atoms. The uranium is in ceramic fuel pellets that are inserted into fuel rods, that make up fuel elements, that are in the reactor core that is located in the reactor vessel of the nuclear power plant. After the fuel has been in the reactor it begins to produce plutonium 239 atoms within the fuel which will also undergo a fission reaction.
What is a part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
Nuclear fission takes place in the nuclear fuel rods that are placed in the reactor core that is situated in the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor pressure vessel is usually situated inside the reactor containment.
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies

What part of a nuclear reactor would most likely contain plutonium?
This part is the core of the nuclear reactor containing the nuclear fuel.
What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?
Fuel cells are an important part of a nuclear reactor. The component that powers the nuclear reactor is the reactor core and the fuel cells are found inside and hold uranium dioxide.

What part of a nuclear reactor system contains uranium?
The central active core fuel assemblies.

In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies
When was the first nuclear reactor made?
1942, the first demonstration reactor as part of the Manhattan Project
What part of a nuclear reactor produces the electricity from steam?
turbine
Who made the first nuclear reactor?
This was part of the Manhattan Project in WW2, the first reactor was designed by Enrico Fermi
What part of a nuclear reactor is designed to absorb neutrons?
The control rods are used as a variable absorber, otherwise the reactor is designed not to absorb more neutrons than can be helped, in order to reduce the amount of enriched fuel needed. Around the outside of the reactor will be a concrete shield to protect operating staff.
