Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
What do power plant lines do for a nuclear reactor?
lead
Who was the inventor of first nuclear plant?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
What happens if nuclear reactor leaks?
If a nuclear reactor leaked you would have to evacuate the area around the plant and you would attempt to stop the leak and probably depending on the severeity level of the situation you may need to 'SCRAM' the reactor.
What does a nuclear reactor do in a nuclear power plant?
You rip apart an atom which releases great energy in the form of heat. The energy causes water to evaporate which turns a turbine. The turning turbine creates electricity. This is how a nuclear reactor works.
Primary function of moderator in nuclear reactor?
What is the primary function of a Moderator 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 coolant in nuclear power plant?
The reactor coolant is used to extract heat from the nuclear fuel and hence maintains its integrity.
In what production is a reactor and uranium used in?
A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.

What was the worst reactor accident in history?
the reactor accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant.
What do power plant lines do for a nuclear reactor?
lead
How many nuclear reactor plant are in America?
104 operating nuclear reactors
Where can you harness uranium?
In a nuclear fission reactor power plant
How is nuclear energy changed into electrical energy in a nuclear power plant?
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
Is the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant controlled or uncontrolled?
Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.
What is the function of graphite in a nuclear reactor?
It's purpose is to slow down fast neutrons that maybe present in the reactor.
