Producing electricity
A Nuclear Reactor.
Yes, the nuclear reactor can be useful when it comes to making nuclear weapons. Uranium can be lowered into the operating reactor and can be bathed in the neutron flux to become (through nuclear transformation) plutonium. Plutonium is ready to be shaped into the subcritical masses used in nuclear weapons.
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.
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.
For making the nuclear reactor and other items like the nuclear bombs and other stuff
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
