What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
How much uranium 235 is used in a nuclear reactor?
Depending on the type and the power of the nuclear reactor. An example; a CANDU type reactor of 700 MW need 700 kg uranium-235 and only ca. 500 kg are "burned".
When a uranium nucleus breaks into fragments what type of nuclear reaction occurs?
In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei), often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays).
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What type of reaction occurs in a nuclear power plant?
It is NOT a chemical reaction, but a FUSION of atoms. Say two atoms of hydrogen may fuse together to form an helium atom , with the consequent release of energy.
What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
What type of nuclear reaction occurs in nuclear weapons?
the nuclear kind
Do Breeder reactor and nuclear reactor have similarities?
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
How much heat is produced in a nuclear reaction and how hot is it?
In a nuclear bomb temperatures of 10 million centigrade or more are produced. In a nuclear reactor temperatures of 100 centigrade to about 1000 centigrade are produced depending on type and design of reactor.
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
What reaction keeps going on its own once it starts?
This type of reaction happens when nuclear fission occurs.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
Are there more are there one type of nuclear reactor?
the boiling water reactor, pressurized water reactor, and the LMFB reactor
When a uranium nucleus breaks up into fragments which type of nuclear reaction occurs?
Its called fission.
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
How much uranium produces nuclear power?
The mass of uranium needed for a nuclear power reactor depend on the type and the power of this reactor. For a medium size reactor - 100 t.
What type of reactor produces more fuel than it consumes?
a fission nuclear reactor -binky
