It is like a spreading atoms. When atoms is hit with another, it will spreading into other atoms and become bigger. That is why it is so powerful...

How safe are the nuclear reactors?

nuclear reactors are not very safe at all. the nuclear energy buisness basically went to crap after the three mile island accident, because people decided the risks outweigh the benefits


What process do nuclear reactors use?

Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.


Are nuclear reactors dangerous?

Yes, but there are risks associated with every type of power plant. Its simply a matter of understanding those risks and dealing with them. In the case of nuclear reactors, we design whats known as "defense in depth", so that any hypothetical failure, or sequence of failures, including some improbable failures, can be handled.


Where can you find plutonium and what are the potential risks associated with its presence?

Plutonium can be found in nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons, and some industrial settings. The potential risks associated with its presence include radiation exposure, toxicity if ingested or inhaled, and the risk of nuclear accidents or proliferation.


How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?

Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.


What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?

We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.


How many nuclear reactors are in the world?

There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.


What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?

there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors


How many nuclear reactors does France have?

France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.


Is nuclear reactors harm full?

Nuclear reactors can be harmful if not managed properly, such as in the case of accidents or leaks. However, when operated safely and within regulatory guidelines, nuclear reactors provide clean energy and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Strict safety measures and regulations are in place to minimize risks associated with nuclear power generation.


Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?

Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.


What are the sources of nuclear reactors?

Nuclear reactors are built. Therefore the source is the country that commissioned and built them.
