Tiny rods in meshworks or bundles that help cell to shorten?
Telomeres
What is used to bathe the control rods and fuel bundles of the nuclear reactor?
Heavy water
What bathes the control rods and fuel bundles of the nuclear reactor?
Perhaps you mean the water that acts as moderator and fuel coolant
Are the control rods part of the fuel assemblies in nuclear reactors?
No, control rods are not a part of the fuel assemblies in nuclear reactors. They are separate "pieces" in the core, and essentially fit in "spaces" between fuel bundles.
What does a bundle of elm or birch rods are bound together by straps with the blade of an axe protruding from the bundle symbolize?
Bundles of rods with an axe blade protruding from them are called fasces. ^wrong It symbolizes unity and strength
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
How many fuel assemblies in its core does a large modern nuclear power plant?
It depends on the particular design and the design objectives. One plant that I worked at had 137 control rods, each having four bundles, for a total bundle count of 548 assemblies. Each assembly had 62 fuel rods and two water rods in an 8 x 8 matrix.
What are fuel rods?
Nuclear fuel rodsFuel rods are long, cylindrical rods or long, flat plates containing fissile material (usually uranium) in a nuclear reactor core. The uranium is in rods or plates so it can be bundled into a fuel element and fixed in place to make up the core. The spacing and arrangement of the rods and, beyond that, the bundles themselves, is the key to reactor geometry.Other rods in the reactor called control rods are also moved into channels in the reactor core, but these have the opposite effect. They contain neutron-absorbing materials that can moderate (or stop) the fission reaction that takes place when a critical mass is achieved. Control rods are pulled to start the reactor up, and are put back in to shut the reactor down.
How are spent fuel rods removed from a nuclear reactor?
Spend fuel rods (in the form of fuel bundles) are lifted out of a reactor (which is shut down, of course) and moved over to a holding area. A crane is a good choice for this job. With everything set up, the bundle is hoisted, and swung over a holding area (a holding pool filled with water), and then lowered in. There will be a "rack" of sorts in the pool to support the fuel bundle. Other bundles of spent fuel will be added as they are pulled from the reactor.
What is the length of a reactor core with 1 cm diameter fuel rods?
Specifying the diameter of fuel rods (1 cm) does not really allow estimates of the length of the reactor core in which they are used. (How many rods in a fuel bundle, and how many fuel bundles in the core?) Keep in mind that the core will end up in a shape that is engineered to use the fuel most efficiently. This means that really short and fat core geometry is out, and so is long skinny geometry. The ideal core shape will probably end up roughly cylindrical, and perhaps with it being roughly as long as its diameter. If you have a lot of fuel rods in a lot of fuel bundles, then they will be longer than a more modest amount of fuel rods in a smaller number of bundles. A reactor core in a shape that approximates a soda can or tuna can is going to be avoided, and a shape somewhat more like a soup can is better. Of the first two, the former would be a bit too long, and the latter too short. The "soup can" geometry will support better operation, more even fuel burn, and more desirable operating characteristics.
What did the Romans use faces for?
The Roman magistrates all had civil servants or bodyguards called lictors. (The higher the office, the more lictors) These lictors carried bundles of rods called "fasces". Tied up inside these rods was an ax with its head visible. These fasces symbolized authority, the rods representing punishment and the ax representing the death penalty. For the most part the lictors were ceremonial, but when accompanying a magistrate through the streets, the lictors were the ones who cleared the way for him, using their fasces in a manner similar to our police force using their riot shields.The Roman magistrates all had civil servants or bodyguards called lictors.
