What type of power plant uses?
Nuclear power plants (BWR, PWR, AGR, etc.)
Efficiency of nuclear power plant?
PWR's and BWR's have thermal efficiencies around 33%, that is the generated power as opposed to the reactor thermal power.
How much co2 emission does a nuclear power plant give off?
None, that is for water type reactors, PWR and BWR.
What is PWR or BWR?
PWR = pressurised water reactor. BWR = boiling water reactor
Where do you get nuclear energy at?
A nuclear power reactor, mainly PWR and BWR types.
When is fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
When is nuclear fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
What Is Most Cheap Method Of Getting Nuclear Power?
Reactors of the BWR and PWR types
What is pwr and bwr?
I think you are talking about nuclear reactors. PWR is a Pressurized Water Reactor, and is the basis for most power generators. BWR is a Boiling Water Reactor. As the water is a major moderating component, controlling the speed and intensity of the nuclear reaction, the steam bubbles in a BWR can present a problem.
What kinds of nuclear reactors are in the US?
All power producing reactors are either PWR or BWR types
How much energy is lost during nuclear power producttion?
The efficiency of a PWR or BWR reactor power plant is about 33 percent, so this means that about 67 percent of the reactor's thermal output is rejected to the cooling water
What is the fuel for a nuclear power plant?
Inmost cases (including PWR and BWR types) it is uranium dioxide enriched to 4 to 5 percent U-235, made into rods 10mm diameter, clad in zircaloy sheathes
