What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
Where will the nuclear reactors be constructed?
There are many plans to build new reactors in Canada and the United States especialy, and other countries, such as India and China, also have plans to build new reactors, while many developing countries plan to build their first reactors. Reactors must be constructed near large bodies of water, however, as this is essential to their operation.
Why does china want uranium?
Because China want to build nuclear reactors to generate electric energy.
Why did Iran want uranium?
Iran want to build nuclear reactors to produce electricity.The scope is an economy of fossil fuels.
Why did Japanese engineers build such a preponderance of nuclear generation plant on a known fault line?
The plants are not built on a fault line. The whole of Japan is 'near' a fault line and there is no real difference as to where you build them in Japan. Also the problem was not the fault (earthquake) it was the secondary Tsunami that has done the damage. The problem is that pressure water reactors need to be build by the sea so that the sea can be used as a heat sink.
Why do scientists want to build a nuclear fusion reactor?
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
Which country can build the most nuclear weapons?
United States of America. Why? Because it has over 160 Nuclear reactors to produce Plutonium and Tritium. This rapidly alows engineers to construct more warheads.
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.
Why is nuclear energy an prominent energy source in japan?
Japan has no fossil fuels but needs a lot of electricity as an industrial economy, therefore it was decided many years ago to build a large number of nuclear plants.
What was the Nazis plan for the atomic bomb?
Not much, they started a project on nuclear bombs but estimated they would win the war before a bomb could be finished. So they scaled the project back to basic research on reactors, with the goal of build power reactors after the war was won.
Does nuclear fusion occur in nuclear reactor?
No. "Reactors" contain fission reactions. No useful way of containing fusionon an industrial scale outside the laboratory has been developed yet.Edit: Tomak fusion reactors currently produce 10 times the energy that is put into them. The historical increase into the gain of fusion reactors has bettered the increase of capacity of DRAMs. The only reason that that it "isn't out of the laboratory" is because when you build a fusion reactor, it is usually called a laboratory.
