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 type of energy transformation takes place in an electric power plant that uses stream turbines?
good
How long does it take a nuclear reactor to cool?
The time it takes to cool a nuclear reactor down varies. If a reactor has been running at nearly full power and is shut down, it takes several days to even weeks to cool it down. The size of the reactor and the "aggressiveness" of a cooling system will affect the cooldown time as well as the power levels at which the reactor was operating at before shutdown. If a reactor has been operating for some time at high power and is shut down, fission in the core stops (as it does in any shutdown). But fission products in the core are at a high level because the reactor was operating at high power. These fission products will continue to decay for some time. The decaying fission products will be creating a lot of residual heat for this extended period, too.
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power plant per year?
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
Is it true that inside a nuclear power plant nuclear fission takes place within the heat exchanger?
yes
Cyst formation in amoeba takes place duringwhich fission?
multiple fission

What takes place in plant cell?
photosynthesis takes place in plant cells
Which type of cell division takes place in a Streptococcus cell but not in a human cell?
Binary Fission.

What are ideal places for fission and fusion?
Fission takes place in nuclear reactors, which are useful to produce electricity. Fusion has not yet been harnessed on earth, so the only place it happens is in stars
What do the chlorolplasts do in a plant cell?
It is an organell of plant cell.It is the place where photosynthesis takes place.
What is nuclear accidents?
When a plant for nuclear power (breaking atoms in fission) explodes because of a malfunction within the pipes as the nuclear reaction takes place. It super-heats, explodes, and often shoots dangerous gases into the air for days, even weeks, that can cause radiation poisoning among other problems.
Where does the osmosis take place?
it takes place in a plant cell
In what part of the plant does photosynthesis take place?
Photosynthesis primarily takes place in the leaves of a plant.
