An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
It is a nuclear reactor without reflector, consisting only from fuel and moderator.
-- steam turbine -- hydroelectric turbine -- wind turbine -- hand-crank generator I think even the nuclear power plants do that ... they use the heat from the reactor core to boil water, then run it through a steam turbine to generate the electric power.
A function generator creates electrical waveforms. The purpose is for developing and testing electric equipment.
Water is used in nuclear REACTORS both as the heat energy carrier and as a coolant to prevent overheating. Proper cooling is required or the reactor will overheat, causing a meltdown. This is not the same as a nuclear explosion since all that will happen is the extreme heat will melt or destroy the reactor or its containment, but due to the design of reactors it is impossible to have a nuclear explosion similar to nuclear weaponry in a reactor. A notable reactor meltdown was Chernobyl where the nuclear reaction was allowed to generate too much excess heat and the heat caused melting of reactor components and eventually a steam explosion (water vapour explosion) due to overheating. The main concern for a reactor meltdown is not the immediate destruction of everything in a certain radius but the spraying of highly radioactive materials found only in a reactor over a large radius since this radioactive waste cannot be cleaned effectively and will render the surroundings uninhabitable for decades.
What is the primary function of a Moderator in a nuclear reactor
for pressurized light water reactor type, as an example, the nuclear reactor components are * Reactor vessel (that contains the nuclear fuel and surrounded with water and contains control rod for power control and for safety) * reactor coolant pump * steam generator * reactor pressurizer * piping out of the vessel to the pressurizer, from pressurizer to steam generator, from steam generator to reactor coolant pump, and from pump back to the reactor vessel.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
cadmium
The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.

The nuclear reactor heats water into steam which is used to drive a turbine which turns a generator.
Requires nuclear reactor for production and a technetium-99m generator for production
The heat produced it used to evaporate water which turns turbines on a generator.
The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
It's purpose is to slow down fast neutrons that maybe present in the reactor.
