What happens if nuclear reactor leaks?
If a nuclear reactor leaked you would have to evacuate the area around the plant and you would attempt to stop the leak and probably depending on the severeity level of the situation you may need to 'SCRAM' the reactor.
What does SCRAM stand for?
In reference to the SCRAM bracelet, it stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. In nuclear power, it is the immediate fail-safe action to shut down the reactor. It stands for Safety Control Rod Ax Man in reference to the first known reactor, Chicago Pile One, where a man was literally stationed to cut a rope with an axe to shut down the "reactor" (to stop the chain reaction by disrupting the critical mass).
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
What is the name of the first Indian nuclear reactor?
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
A SCRAM refers to what type of situation?
A SCRAM is the emergency shut down of a nuclear reactor. SCRAM stands for safety control rod axe man. A SCRAM is also used for routine shut down procedures.

What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
How many methods are there to give heat to the reactor?
If you mean a nuclear reactor, and not a chemical one, there is only one way, and that is by nuclear fission in the fuel
What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
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.
What is the abbreviation SCRAM standing for in nuclear reactors?
This Abbreviation SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Axe Man. The very early nuclear reactors were equipped with a safety control rod that is kept high above and away from the reactor core. This safety control rod was attached to a rope passing over a wheel and going down where the end of the rope is fixed at a lower point. Then a man with axe is always keeping alert and watching the reactor safe operation. In case of emergency, he cuts the rope with the axe and the safety control rod drops by gravity inside the reactor core and stops the nuclear chain fission reaction and consequently stops reactor operation.

Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
