A nuclear reactor contains fuel rods with uranium or plutonium, a moderator such as water or graphite, control rods like boron or cadmium, coolant like water or gas, and structural materials like steel or concrete. During normal operation, these materials interact to sustain a controlled nuclear reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the reactor contains nuclear fuel?
The nuclear fuel is typically contained in the reactor core, which is a central part of the nuclear reactor where the fission reaction takes place. The fuel rods, which contain the nuclear fuel pellets, are inserted into the reactor core during operation.
What is the name of the fuel used in the nuclear reactor?
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.
What part of a nuclear reactor would most likely contain plutonium?
This part is the core of the nuclear reactor containing the nuclear fuel.
What is a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor?
A Thorium Molten Salt Reactor is a type of nuclear reactor that uses thorium as a fuel instead of uranium. It operates at high temperatures and uses a liquid fuel mixture of molten salts. One potential advantage of this type of reactor is reduced nuclear waste production compared to traditional reactor designs.
What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?
Fuel cells in a nuclear reactor are the structural components where nuclear fission reactions occur, generating heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The fuel cells contain the nuclear fuel (such as uranium) and control rods to regulate the nuclear reactions.
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
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.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
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
Why is decommissioning a nuclear power plant so expensive?
because they have to safetly turn of the core of the reactor and dispose of the dangeouse chemicals used
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
What is the name of the first Indian nuclear reactor?
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
