A Nuclear Reactor.
Connecticut has two operating units, Millstone 2 and 3, with a combined output of about 2000 MWe. See link below. I don't know the total electricity usage in the state.
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
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.
how electricity is produced in a nuclear 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.
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
Not a nuclear reactor!
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.
