Usually to provide thermal power in order to produce electricity, sometimes to produce radioisotopes
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
A Nuclear Reactor.
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
The pressure vessel contains the reactor core with its fuel, coolant, moderator, control elements, and emergency systems. The turbine is the device that on receiving the steam it spins and turns the electric generators to produce electricity.
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
