We use steel to make the pressure vessels for nuclear reactors. This steel can vary in composition and can also be clad with other types of steel to optimize the performance of this critical component of the system.

What are the control rods in a nuclear reactor made of?

Control rods in a nuclear reactor are typically made of materials such as boron, cadmium, or hafnium. These materials are selected for their ability to absorb neutrons and regulate the reactor's power levels by controlling the rate of nuclear reactions.


What is nuclear reactor kinetics?

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.


Is the nuclear reactor useful to made atom bombs?

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.

Can you make a real ark reactor?

An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
