Reactors are typically made from concrete,steel and lined with lead, the combination of these materials and built into a strong shape(bullet shaped or spherical shaped etc..) make up a nuclear reactor, these materials also absorb the radiation produced inside the nuclear reactor(lead absorbs gamma radiation and concrete absorbs neutron radiation).
What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear reactors man made?
Yes, they are man-made.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
Functions of nuclear reactors?
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
Will thorium powered reactors be built?
Yes, thorium was used as a fertile material in nuclear reactors.
Where is fission used by humans?
In nuclear reactors, there are over 400 operating power reactors world wide
What is the man-made Actinide?
Plutonium is a man-made actinide element that is produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. It is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors and in the production of nuclear weapons.
Is nuclear reactors man made?
Yes, they are man-made.
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
How many nuclear reactors are in the world?
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
How many nuclear reactors does France have?
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
Is the element plutonium man made?
Yes, plutonium is a man-made element. It is primarily produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. Isotopes of plutonium are used in the production of nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
What are the sources of nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors are built. Therefore the source is the country that commissioned and built them.
What is about nuclear reactors that evokes hope in some and dread in others?
nuclear reactors that evokes dread
