When was Experimental Breeder Reactor I created?
Experimental Breeder Reactor I was created in 1950.
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
What type of reactor produces more radioactive fuel enough to fuel an additional reactor about every 7-10 years?
This would be a breeder reactor, specifically a fast breeder, which means one that operates with a fast neutron spectrum, ie not a moderated reactor. This breeds fissile fuel from non-fissile U-238. Prototypes have been built and operated but are not commercially viable at the present time as it is easier and cheaper to obtain new fuel from the normal mining-refining-enrichment route.
Who first invented nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
Who invented the first nuclear reactor in India?
The nuclear reactor wasn't invented in India. Nuclear power was being researched in England, Germany, Austria, Russia and the USA during the 1930s and 1940s. Idaho was the location of the first electricity generation using a nuclear reactor in 1951 with Russia operating the first to supply electricity to a grid. India's entry to nuclear power generation followed many years after the intial development work has been completed.
When was Experimental Breeder Reactor I created?
Experimental Breeder Reactor I was created in 1950.
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
When did North Korea breeder reactor start?
A breeder reactor is generally defined as a power generating reactor that breeds at least sufficient plutonium to replace the U235/Pu which it has consumed. To the best of my knowledge, North Korea does not have such a reactor.
What type of reactor makes more fissionable material?
A breeder reactor
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
How many days does a breeder reactor require to produce plutonium-239 from uranium-238?
It is a continuous instantaneous process that happens in the nuclear breeder reactor.
How are breeder reactors and nuclear reactor different?
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
Does breeder reactor consists of fission reaction?
yes
How does one use a breeder reactor?
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
Does a breeder nuclear reactor use moderator?
Thermal Breeder Reactors use moderators but Fast Breeder Reactors don't use moderator.
What is produced from uranium-238 in a breeder reactor?
Pu-239
What is UK 's first fast breeder reactor in Scotland called?
Dounreay PFR (Prototype Fast Reactor)
