A reactor vessel in a boiling water reactor is approximately 300 tons.
for pressurized light water reactor type, as an example, the nuclear reactor components are * Reactor vessel (that contains the nuclear fuel and surrounded with water and contains control rod for power control and for safety) * reactor coolant pump * steam generator * reactor pressurizer * piping out of the vessel to the pressurizer, from pressurizer to steam generator, from steam generator to reactor coolant pump, and from pump back to the reactor vessel.
The quantity depends on: the type of the reactor, power of the reactor, enrichment of uraniu, chemical form of the fuel, etc. For a research reactor some kilograms, for a power reactor more than 100 tonnes/year.
This depends on the type and power of the reactor; say tens of metric tons for a commercial reactor..
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
Do you mean pebble bed reactor?
Pebble bed modular reactor's population is 900.
Pebble bed modular reactor's population is 9.
Pebble bed modular reactor was created in 1994.
Different types of nuclear plants: Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); Boiling Water Reactor (BWR); Heavy Water Moderated Reactor (CANDU); Advanced Gascooled Reactor (AGR); Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR); Pebble Bed Gascooled Reactor; Water Cooled Graphite Reactor (RBMK). There are other ideas that only exist on paper.

Yes, it is a well known design concept, but has not been exploited in a commercial power plant yet. There is a possibility of this either in China or South Africa. See Wikipedia entry on 'Pebble bed reactor' for a description and discussion of future possibilities.
The different types of glass reactors popular in the market are listed here by Ablaze Glassworks: Specialized reactor Stirred high pressure reactor Lab reactor Trickle bed reactor Bubble column reactor Photocatalytic reactor Glass jacketed reactor CE Type Glass Lined Reactor AE Type Glass Lined Reactor Automated Batch Reactor All of these different types of glass reactors are available at Ablaze Glassworks which is scientific and industrial glass equipment manufacturer offering process equipment, engineered system, and process system and process instrumentation since 1985. For any kind of glass reactor order or bulk supply, contact Ablaze Glassworks.
