What is the ideal location of fission?

Fission refers to a nuclear reaction wherein a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously, with the release of energy. The ideal location of fission is in a power plant inside a nuclear reactor.


Other words for nuclear?

People used to talk about atomic power and atomic bombs, but this is not correct, nuclear is the correct word to use. Why do you want another word? Nuclear means to do with the nucleus. 'Kernel' is another word which means the center of a body but in English we use it for nuts. In German nucleus is 'kern', and they have 'kernkraftwerke' for nuclear engineering, but why use a German word?

Correct.


What are the factors affecting the location of the thermal power stations?

The factors affecting the location of the (nuclear) thermal power stations are partially location in relationship to the grid, and mostly location in relationhip to the heatsink. An enormous amout of energy is generated by the nuclear reaction - in fact the typical efficiency of the nuclear to electric power production cycle is only 33% - and that excess energy must be dissipated. There is also the factor of the population density, in that the design of the emergency/evacuation planning zone needs to consider the amount of people needed to be evacuated in the event of a large nuclear incident, should that occur.


What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
