In the 1980s a nuclear reactor exploded near which town?
chernobyl
What are feeder reactors?
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
Why ceramic used for wall of a nuclear reactor?
ceramic can withstand high temperature
Which material is used as a cladding material in nuclear reactor?
Fuel pellets are typically clad in Zircalloy, if that was your question. Especially in water cooled reactors.
What does china syndrome mean to a nuclear reactor?
In the most severe reactor accident, the fuel will melt and, due to radioactive decay heat, will continue to be very hot. In fact, it will be hot enough to melt through the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel (several inches of steel), and possibly melt/burn through the concrete floor of the reactor building and get into the soil beneath the building. This is what is referred to as the China syndrome, the idea being that the molten mass of fuel is heading toward China on the other side of the earth as it melts through the vessel, concrete, and then soil and rock below the reactor building.
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.
Why is the book Selected Nuclear Materials and Engineering Systems so expensive?
It contains a model nuclear reactor. It used to be double this price.
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
What has the author R S Carter written?
R. S. Carter has written: 'Reactor radiation division: annual progress report for the period ending October 31, 1971' -- subject(s): Institute for Materials Science and Engineering (U.S.)., Institute for Materials Science and Engineering (U.S.). Reactor Radiation Division, Nuclear reactors
What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
How does nuclear reactor works to produce electricity?
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
What is a reactor used for in welders?
Not a nuclear 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.
What is real reactor?
I think you will find this in chemical engineering rather than nuclear. See link below for ideas to follow up.
