a reactor is generally termed as an autoclave reactor,when it is a high pressure batch reactor.mostly this kind of reactors are used for sterilization the reactants..
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.
ceramic can withstand high temperature
Reactor period is the time is takes for a reactor's power to increase by a factor of e (2.71828).
Boils in the core and is used to turn the turbine
It is a chopper (a device for step up or down dc voltage from fixed dc source) for low or medium load.Its main advantage is that it only required one thyristor. Capacitor and saturable reactor make it possible.
The pressurised water reactor (PWR)
Its not its Lead or Neon!
Never a nuclear reactor is used in airplanes. However, it is used in submarines.
series reactor is used to limit the fault current. b'cos reactor contains inductance and it opposes the rate of change of current

it was used to cut or crush things.
The fuel used in a nuclear reactor is typically uranium. Specifically, the most common type of uranium used is uranium-235, which undergoes nuclear fission to produce energy in the reactor.
Jones chopper is known as voltage commutated chopper...it is one type of chopper..
Control rods are used in a reactor to control the rate at which fission happens.
Reactor is used for distilling water in thermal power plants.
An airlift reactor was one of the many weapons used during the Cold War. There were several different styles of these used but they were not used for a long period of time.
