How are nuclear reactions controlled in a reactor?
don't know GOOGLE IT
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What are uses for nuclear reactions?
generate electricitysteam heating of nearby buildingsbombsbreeding reactor fueletc.
What Metal used in nuclear reactions?
Nuclear energy appears as heat in a nuclear reactor. It comes from the fission of uranium or plutonium
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and in a nuclear reactor?
the suns nuclear reactions happen at extreme temperatures we do it at lower temps
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 place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
In the core of a nuclear reactor
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
The rate at which reactions occur in a nuclear reactor is regulated by?
number of control rods
