What element is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors?
One or more elements that strongly absorb neutrons, some are:cadmiumboronhafniumetc.
How is radioisotopes used in nuclear reactors?
Radioisotopes for many uses (e.g. medical, industrial, scientific) are produced in nuclear reactors.
Does liquid sodium is used as a coolant in nuclear reactors?
In some reactors it is, depends on the design.
What is the most common coolant used in nuclear reactors?
The most common coolant used in nuclear reactors is water. There are light water reactors (using "regular" water), and the heavy water kind of reactor.
Which actinide fuel is used in nuclear reactors?
It is Uranium
Which is are used in nuclear reactors to absorb neutrons?
control rods
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Which are used in nuclear reactors to absorb neutrons?
boron or cadmium control rods.
What substance is used in a nuclear reactor to absorb heat released from the reactor?
In most reactors in the world, water is used to absorb heat released from the reactor.
Which is or are used in nuclear reactors to absorb neutrons?
control rods
What element is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors?
One or more elements that strongly absorb neutrons, some are:cadmiumboronhafniumetc.
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Are lasers used for nuclear reactors?
No, at least not for power reactors
How much temperature can be controlled by liquid sodium in nuclear reactors?
Liquid sodium has been used as a coolant in fast reactors, because it does not slow down and absorb fast neutrons. It does not control the nuclear reaction directly, for that variable neutron absorbers are required.
What can be found on the moon that can be used for nuclear reactors?
There may be Radium, Thorium, Uranium or even Plutonium which can be used in nuclear reactors.
What can be used as a substitute for nuclear reactors?
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
