Steel for the pressure vessel and pressure circuits, concrete for shielding and structural foundations etc, uranium and zirconium for the fuel. These are the main materials, of course there are many components like control rods and actuators, pumps, valves, instruments and so on.
What else can I help you with?
Who first invented nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
Who was the inventor of first nuclear plant?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
Scientists hope to build a nuclear fusion reactor fueled by?
Ocean Water
What can cause a nuclear power plant blow up?
A steam explosion from flash evaporation of coolant water. This is what blew up Chernobyl.A chemical hydrogen/oxygen gas explosion caused by build up of hydrogen gas in the plant when water decomposes on contact with overheated zirconium fuel rod cladding.A nuclear explosion in a nuclear reactor is not possible, the fuel cannot be assembled into a supercritical mass configuration fast enough (~1ms) as this would require explosives. If the reactor core did suddenly go slightly supercritical, the energy release would simply cause a brief partial meltdown, restoring the material to a subcritical configuration. This could trigger a steam explosion that ejected parts of the reactor core (as happened at Chernobyl) but no nuclear yield would occur.
Will nuclear energy be there when needed?
Provided the reactor plants are built. You have to think ahead as it takes a few years to build a plant.
What resources will you lose if you build a nuclear reactor?
Primarily Concrete and electoral votes
Would it be a good idea to build a nuclear power reactor that utilized spontaneous fission?
maybe
What materials are needed to build a parking lot?
a lot of materials are needed .
What do you have to do to get nuclear energy?
You have to build a nuclear reactor which is an assembly of nuclear fuel and a moderator, which enables a chain fission reaction to start and continue, which releases thermal energy.

What materials needed to build a table?
materials needed to build a table are wood,adhesives,cutters,and wood polishers.
What kinds of materials do you need to build a lighthouse?
what materials are needed to build a lighthouse
Who can build nuclear weapons?
almost anyone that can get the materials
What materials are needed to build a car?
tHERE ARE LOTS OF PARTS NEEDED
Should nuclear weapons be banned?
Considering the fact that any competent Physics Grad student using publicly available data could design a workable fission bomb (getting the materials to build it is another issue) having a yield comparable to the ones detonated in WW2; it is impossible to ban nuclear weapons. If a country wanted them it will take them roughly 4 years to build the nuclear materials processing infrastructure to make the needed materials.
