How many fuel rods in a reactor?

The number of fuel pins in a reactor will vary depending on its design and objectives. In one reactor that I worked with, I seem to recall 137 fuel assemblies, with four bundles each, with 62 fuel pins each. That translates to 33,976 fuel pins in the reactor, each about 12 feet long.


In what form is nuclear fuel?

The physical form of nuclear fuel depends on the nuclear reactor type. The fuel can be in form of single solid rods, an assembly (or bundle) of solid pins, solid plates, an assembly of flat or curved plates, assembly of concentric hollow cylinders, solution fuel, or solid spheres


What is fuel assemblies in a PWR nuclear reactor?

The nuclear fuel of light water Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is fabricated as thin nuclear fuel pins assembled in an open square array of usually 17 x 17 or 18 x 18. The assembly usually keeps the central location for instrumentation and keeps also 24 locations to allow, when needed for a control rod spider to pass through in and out. This cluster of fuel pins is usually called fuel assembly.

Why nuclear power plant explodes?

Nuclear power plants don't explode, in the style of a nuclear bomb. That particular super prompt criticality is impossible to maintain for the length of time necessary to consume the core, leading to a true, nuclear detonation. If you are thinking about the explosions that occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, those were hydrogen gas explosions. Hydrogen gas built up as a consequence of the high temperature of the zircalloy fuel pins in contact with water. When additional water was added to help cool the fuel, the hydrogen combined with the oxygen in the water under temperature and exploded. Again, it was not a nuclear explosion.
