What else can I help you with?
Is Pakistan making nuclear reactors?
No, they don't. All Pakistan nuclear power reactors are imported from outside.
Can plutonium be produced in a commercial nuclear reactor?
Yes, plutonium can be produced in a commercial nuclear reactor from uranium through a process called irradiation. When uranium-238 absorbs a neutron, it is transmuted into plutonium-239. This production of plutonium is a byproduct of the fission process in traditional nuclear reactors.
What is the same between nuclear and breeder reactors?
They all use nuclear fission
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Is plutonium produced only in breeder reactors?
No, plutonium is obtained in all the types of nuclear reactors.
Can you direct me to a website with a list of all the nuclear power plants in the world?
I have put a link to the Wikipedia page, "List of nuclear reactors," below. It seems to be pretty good, and includes some reactors that are not in nuclear plants, such as research reactors.
What kinds of nuclear reactors are in the US?
All power producing reactors are either PWR or BWR types
Could an atom of a certain element be changed to another element by messing up with the atomic number and number of neutrons?
Absolutely, this occurs naturally all the time in radioactive decay and in fusion in stars and supernovae as well as artificially in particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, and nuclear bombs.
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
Which countries have nuclear waste problems?
All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.
What advances have been possible from the nuclear bomb?
Nuclear power plants, submarines and aircraft carriers propelled by nuclear reactors. In the future, may be all sort of vehicles could have small and very protected nuclear reactors instead of today's fuel.
What regions in America is using nuclear energy?
See www.nrc.gov, there is a list of all states with nuclear power reactors.
