Uranium in nature is only about 0.7% 235U. In order to have a chain reaction, the percentage of 235U must be increased by enrichment. The percentages of 235U in nuclear reactors are generally low, about 3% to 5%. For bombs, the percentage is generally 85% or more.
Between 1945 and 1987, there were 285 nuclear reactor accidents, injuring over 1,550 people and killing 64.
Inductors can be used for a great many purposes. Terms, such as 'choke', 'reactor', etc., describe applications of inductors.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
The term used to describe a nuclear reactor when it overheats and the core melts is "nuclear meltdown." This can lead to a breach of containment and release of radioactive materials into the environment.
A Nuclear Reactor.
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
The hydride gap is a concept used in nuclear reactor physics to describe the difference in reactivity worth between hydrogen and deuterium. It refers to the change in reactivity caused by replacing hydrogen with deuterium in the moderator of a reactor. The hydride gap can affect the overall performance and safety margins of a nuclear reactor.
Reactor grade material is usable in most nuclear power plants. Weapons grade material is required for nuclear weapons. For uranium the difference between reactor grade and weapons grade is the level of enrichment: less than 20% uranium-235 is reactor grade, greater than 20% uranium-235 (greater than 90% is prefered) is weapons grade. For plutonium the difference between reactor grade and weapons grade is the level of contamination with plutonium-241: any amount of plutonium-241 is OK for reactor grade, only low levels of plutonium-241 are acceptable in weapons grade as its spontaneous fission rate can cause the bomb to fizzle.
The nuclear reactor is different from the breeder reactor because it generates energy through fission. Historically, in order to be called a breeder, a reactor must be specifically designed to create more fissile material than it consumes. this is what I've looked up and been able to find
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.
