For a quick indication of a nuclear reactor's power level, an instrument sensitive to the neutron flux is used. That is, it gives a signal proportional to the number of neutrons per second at the point the detection chamber is placed. By calculation, the signal can be related to the reactor power, but is not likely to be accurate, and chambers vary in sensitivity. Therefore to get an accurate figure the reactor power has to be obtained from thermal measurements, ie temperatures of the coolant and its flow rate, and the flux detector can then be calibrated to give a more accurate figure.

Does fire have nuclear energy?
No, fire is chemical energy not nuclear
What can nuclear energy become?
Nuclear waste. Consumable Energy. Heat.
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What is a limiting factor for using nuclear energy?
There are quite a few limiting factors for using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is very expensive to produce for example.
How does nuclear energy help with robots?
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
What units of measure are used to measure nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is measured in mega electron volts.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What is an example of a joule?
A joule is simply a unit to measure energy. Examples of energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, sound energy, light energy, elastic energy, nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Where does nuclear energy come from to make renewable energy work?
Nuclear energy and renewable energy are not related. Renewable energy does not use nuclear energy.
Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
Are there any uses of nuclear energy?
