The moderator used in the nuclear reactor at Madras atomic power station in Kalpakkam is?
Heavy water(PHWR)--Pressurised heavy water reactor
Which is used as moderator in nuclear reactor?
Most often, light water (H2O) is used as a moderator in a nuclear reactor. Sometimes, heavy water (D2O), or graphite is used.
What is used to bathe the control rods and fuel bundles of the nuclear reactor?
Heavy water
Name one type of nuclear reactor?
CANDU, a reactor type designed in Canada which uses heavy water as the primary coolant.
What are the moderator used in a nuclear reactor with natural uranium?
The moderator used in nuclear reactors with natural uranium is generally the heavy water (D2O).
Do substance is used as moderator in modern nuclear reactor?
Water (H2), or heavy water (D2O). Sometimes, liquid sodium is used.
Are there more are there one type of nuclear reactor?
the boiling water reactor, pressurized water reactor, and the LMFB reactor
What is the most common coolant used in nuclear reactors?
The most common coolant used in nuclear reactors is water. There are light water reactors (using "regular" water), and the heavy water kind of reactor.
What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
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 does a nuclear reactor heat?
Water.
What type of reactor does vc summer power plant have?
VC Summer Nuclear Power Station uses a Westinghouse "light water" reactor. "Light water" means that the nuclear reaction is moderated by regular H2O (as opposed to "heavy water" which uses a heavier Hydrogen isotope called "deuterium").
