Primary function of moderator in nuclear reactor?
What is the primary function of a Moderator in a nuclear reactor
What does a 'reflector' do in the core of a fission atomic bomb?
The reflector in a nuclear weapon core is made of a material which can reflect neutrons from fission in the core back into the core, instead of wasting them. A tamper can permit a smaller mass of nuclear fuel (an unreflected subcritical mass of nuclear material can quickly become critical if a reflector is used). Depending on the material, they can also have a neutron-moderation effect. The tamper in many nuclear weapons is also the reflector.
What is in the core of a nuclear reactor?
The core of the nuclear reactor includes:nuclear fuel elements (composed of the fuel meat covered with cladding)reactor coolantreactor moderator (for thermal reactors)control elementsmeasuring instrumentsstructural and support structures
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies
Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?
In the core.
What is a bare reactor?
It is a nuclear reactor without reflector, consisting only from fuel and moderator.
How can neutrons be slowed in the reactor core?
This is the function of the moderator, which may be heavy water, light water, or graphite
What is a Center Of A Reactor?
core
What is the pattern for a nether reactor core in minecraft?
The nether core reactor has been removed and no longer has a pattern in newer versions.

Why does the core of the reactor have a moderator?
The core of the reactor contains the nuclear fuel. Having a moderator in place within the core ensures that the nuclear fuel is processed at an accurate time duration. This can prevent serious problems from occurring within the entire nuclear reactor.

To prevent fuel damage decay heat must be removed from the reactor core?
after the reactor shuts down
