When operating, a nuclear power plant needs about 750,000 gallons of water per minute! When being shut down (as in the case of an emergency) the cooling operation requires about 25,000 gallons per minute.
Generally, not. The reactor pressure vessel is too radioactive to handle and, even if you could do that, the contamination of the various plant systems would cost too much to properly decontaminate. Only one facility has been successfully decontaminated after operation - and that was the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant in New York - but it only operated for the equivalent of one day at 5% power - a normal plant with long term operation history would never be able to be adequately decontaminated and allowed to be "walked away from".
A 1000 MW nuclear reactor typically uses about 25 to 30 tons of uranium fuel per year. This equates to approximately 68 to 82 kilograms of uranium consumed per day, depending on the reactor's efficiency and operational conditions. The exact amount can vary based on the reactor design and the enrichment level of the uranium used.
atleast $84,880 per year
The cost to run a nuclear reactor can vary depending on factors like the size of the reactor, maintenance requirements, and operating expenses. Generally, it can cost millions to tens of millions of dollars annually to operate a nuclear reactor.
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
Merits of Nuclear Reactor are 1 Pollution Free 2 Environment friendly Demerits End products from Reactors need to be preserved safely and Preservation of Reactors cost much .
billions of dollars
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 amount of coolant used in a nuclear power reactor can vary depending on the design of the reactor. Generally, a nuclear power reactor may use thousands to millions of gallons of water or a different coolant material to remove heat generated during the nuclear fission process. The coolant circulates through the reactor core to transfer heat and help regulate the temperature of the reactor.
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
Well...I cannot say about how much has been the money spent on nuclear arms worldwide but nuclear weapons have cost the United States at least $5.48 trillion since 1940....!!
You may mean 'reactivity'. In a nuclear reactor, this is the measure of how much above or below criticality the reactor state is, which effectively determines how fast the neutron flux increases or decreases.
A typical nuclear power plant requires approximately 27 metric tons of uranium fuel per year to produce electricity. This amount can vary depending on the specific reactor design and fuel cycle used. The energy produced from uranium in a nuclear reactor is much more concentrated than energy from other traditional sources like coal or natural gas.
The amount of uranium-235 used in a nuclear reactor depends on the design and size of the reactor. Typically, a reactor core contains several tons of uranium fuel, with the concentration of uranium-235 ranging from 3-5%. The fuel is arranged in fuel assemblies to sustain a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction.
