How much 1kg of u235 can produce electricity in areactor?
It is estimated that 1 kilogram of U235 can produce approximately 24,000 MWh of electricity in a nuclear reactor. This amount can vary depending on the efficiency of the reactor and the specific conditions of operation.
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
Is thermal energy found in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
What part of a nuclear reactor would most likely contain plutonium?
This part is the core of the nuclear reactor containing the nuclear fuel.
An element produced inside a nuclear reactor?
Plutonium, an element not found in nature, is formed from uranium during reactor operation
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
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.
What are the relative amounts of U-238 and U-235 found in fuel rods?
It depends on the type of reactor you're using. For light-water reactors, the most common type of reactor, the ratio of U235/U238 is usually around 3.5%.
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
What is meant by reactor grade materials?
This means that the nuclear material is of a high enough concentration to fissile (allow for a fission chain reaction). This is because Uranium comes naturally as 99.3% U238, which cannot sustain fission, and .7% U235, which is what they want for the fuel. So they have to find away to pull away the U238 and leave the U235. As they concentrate the U235, it becomes concentrated enough so that it can sustain fission (too much U238 bogs down the reaction and will eventually end the fission). When it reaches this point of concentration, it is concidered reactor grade. Different elements have different needed concentrations to reach this level.
What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?
Fuel cells in a nuclear reactor are the structural components where nuclear fission reactions occur, generating heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The fuel cells contain the nuclear fuel (such as uranium) and control rods to regulate the nuclear reactions.
Is uranium nuclear fuel?
Yes, U233, U235, and U238 are all used as nuclear fuels.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
