What else can I help you with?
What is the function of platelets in human?
They're the short-term, first reactors to a breach in the circulatory system.
What rhymes with reactors?
factors rhyme with reactors tractors rhyme with reactors actors rhyme with reactors
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
Do fusion powers nuclear reactors?
No. Our reactors are fission reactors. We haven't yet mastered fusion reactors for power.
Do moderator in nuclear reactor slows down the neutrons emitted during fission?
Yes, it is the main moderator function in what is called "thermal nuclear reactors"
Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
Are lasers used for nuclear reactors?
No, at least not for power reactors
Are all-stars fusion reactors?
Yes, stars are fusion reactors.
How Many nuclear reactors are there on the Earth?
As of 2021, there are around 440 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide. These reactors are used for generating electricity through nuclear fission reactions. The number of reactors changes over time due to construction of new reactors and decommissioning of old ones.
How are nuclear reactors different from breeder reactors?
Most nuclear reactors, in general, are designed and built to produce usable energy. The energy helps supply public demand for electricity, or provide propulsion for a combat vessel at sea, especially submarines. Some nuclear reactors are built for research only, to learn more about nuclear power and about better ways to utilize it. Nuclear reactors do not emit atmospheric contaminants like other energy-making processes do. They are not like combustion engines, and require no oxygen to burn for their function. Breeder reactors are a different story indeed. They do produce usable energy, but in too many cases their design purpose is to "breed" more fissionable material during the reaction process.
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
The country with the most number of nuclear reactors?
The US with 100 (I am uncertain if this is all reactors or just power reactors though, there are several small reactors operated to make medical isotopes, etc. or for research purposes of various kinds).
