What does scram mean for a nuclear reactor?
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
When fission is not controlled how is it used?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
How many percent efficient is the nuclear power plant?
Approximately 33%, depending on the design. That's measuring from reactor thermal power to final electric power.
What are the main components of a nuclear power plant?
shielding, fuel, control rods, moderator, and coolant
What are the functions of a nuclear reactor components?
Mainly:Nuclear fuel: where nuclear fission and energy is producedReactor coolant: to extract heat from fuelReactor neutron moderator: to reduce neutron energy to thermal range (0.025 ev)Reactor control elements: to control nuclear reaction rate, compensate for fuel burnup, and for shutdown and safety conditionsReflector: to reduce neutron leakage
What measuring and control devices were in demand in the 1990's?
Sharp cutbacks in defense spending and the virtual cessation of new nuclear facility construction in the United States rattled industry participants in the early 1990s.
What type of researches have been done where lawrencium has been used?
Nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry, study of superheavy elements, technology of accelerators, improvement of measuring devices for physics, etc.
What are the pros and cons of nuclear devices?
By 'devices' do you mean nuclear weapons, or peaceful uses of nuclear power?
Is copper used to control nuclear reactors chain reaction?
No, except indirectly in the wiring of the control systems (as it is used for wiring in any other electrical devices).
What are the segments of the measuring and controlling devices industry?
Major industry product segments include aircraft engine instruments; nuclear radiation detection and monitoring instruments; commercial, geophysical, meteorological,
What is the measuring unit of nuclear radiation?
Roentgen
Which country exploded first its nuclear device?
All countries that have exploded nuclear devices have exploded their first devices. The USA was the first to detonate such a device and the only country to use nuclear warheads in combat. The most recent countries to test nuclear devices are India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
Nuclear weapons are devices. Is the statement gramatically correct?
It is, but it is not very descriptive. How about"Nuclear weapons are devices created to kill many with extreme heat and explosive power."
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What is the nuclear test ban treaty?
Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions

What is the purpose of boron in nuclear reactors?
Boron is used inside a nuclear reactor inside a control rod which is used to 'soak' up the neutrons inside the nuclear reactor, a control rod can be used to control the rate of fission inside a nuclear reactor.
