Is power reactor a thermal reactor?

Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.


What kind of thermal reactors is plasma found in?

Plasma is typically found in nuclear fusion reactors, which are a type of thermal reactor that produces energy by fusing atomic nuclei together at extremely high temperatures. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting of ionized gas with high energy particles.
