What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Can nuclear fission use uranium as a fuel?
Yes, it does so in almost all reactors
Why is uranium a non- renewable fuel?
Because uranium atoms disappear by nuclear fission an other nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
An energy source that heats fuel rods is?
Nuclear Fission.Generally Uranium, but some reactors use Plutonium nuclear fission.
Is nuclear energy effective?
Yes, nuclear fission reactors are very effective and can generate a lot of power. That is why nuclear fission reactors are very effecive
Where do you use nuclear energy?
In nuclear fission reactors
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
How do you convert Uranium into electricity?
Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release an immense amount of energy.Uranium is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
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.
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
