How is the chain reaction in a nuclear reactor different from one in an atomic bomb?

In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction is controlled to produce a steady flow of energy by regulating the rate of reactions. In an atomic bomb, the chain reaction happens rapidly and uncontrollably, resulting in a massive release of energy in a short period of time, leading to an explosion.


What is nuclear reactor kinetics?

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.


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


Who is the inventor of nuclear reactor and nuclear bomb?

The inventor of the nuclear reactor was Atticus Finch. He was a scholar at MIT and got a master in space technition. In 1942 he invented the nuclear reactor to help the Germans in WWII. The Americans later stole it. The inventor of both the nuclear reactor & nuclear bomb was Leo Szilard in London in 1933, he patented them in 1934. But as no fissionable or fissile material was known at the time neither could be built. It took Otto Frisch's 1938 discovery that the rare isotope Uranium-235 fissioned to make the practical and the US investment in industrial infrastructure between 1942 and 1945 to purify enough of it to make them actually buildable.


What is reactor period in nuclear engineering?

Reactor period is the time is takes for a reactor's power to increase by a factor of e (2.71828).


How is the chain reaction different in a nuclear bomb compared to a nuclear power-plant?

in a bomb it is an uncontrolled runaway reaction that completes in roughly 10 microseconds with the detonation of the core of the bomb.in a reactor it is a controlled steady reaction that continues for hours to years, until the operators shut the reactor down for maintenance.


Why does the core of the reactor have a moderator?

The core of the reactor contains the nuclear fuel. Having a moderator in place within the core ensures that the nuclear fuel is processed at an accurate time duration. This can prevent serious problems from occurring within the entire nuclear reactor.


What was used to bomb japan in World War 2 nuclear or hydrogen?

Nuclear. At the time it was called an atom bomb.


Are there explosives in a nuclear bomb?

A nuclear bomb contains a radioactive element that is caused to react at a certain time, so technically no.


At what time nuclear bomb exploded in nagasaki?

11.01 am Japan's time.


What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?

The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).


When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?

Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.
