What is PWR or BWR?
PWR = pressurised water reactor. BWR = boiling water reactor
What is the most widely used nuclear reactor?
The pressurised water reactor (PWR)
What are some nonexamples fo nuclear fission?
Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR), Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)
Can you give an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, the pressurised water reactor (PWR)
The moderator used in the nuclear reactor at Madras atomic power station in Kalpakkam is?
Heavy water(PHWR)--Pressurised heavy water reactor
What is the advantage of using a pressurised nuclear reactor?
In a pressurised nuclear reactor the temperature is very high, which cn be accepted as a point for this.
State different names of thermal power plant?
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.
What are example of nuclear energy?
Most Answers are Founded Out By:Sun's Rays, Other Star's Rays ETC.what are objects that use nuclear energy?
Can you please send me a diagram to make a model of nuclear reactor?
Wikianswers does not do diagrams. If you go to Wikipedia article on Pressurised Water Reactors you will find a diagram there.

What are two types of reactors used in the US?
There are amny different types of reactors but the most commonly used ones are: PWR-Pressurized Water Reactor, this works by pressurizing the reactor allowing the water to boil at a much higher temperature allowing efficentcy to be higher. BWR-Boiling Water Reactor,this is the most basic type of reactor this reactor just boils water that turns turbines and produces electricity, however water levels and temperature have to be constantly monitored, otherwise a reactor could slip into a dangerous state. AGR-Advanced Gas Reactor, this reactor instead of being cooled by water it is instead cooled by pressurized carbon dioxide. FBR-Fast Breeder Reactor, this reactor instead of limiting fast neutrons to occur it allows fast neutrons in the reactor and in the act of doing it produces nuclear fuel that can be used to fuel the reactor.
How does a reactor work on thermal power plant?
Reactor is used for distilling water in thermal power plants.
