If a nuclear reactor leaked you would have to evacuate the area around the plant and you would attempt to stop the leak and probably depending on the severeity level of the situation you may need to 'SCRAM' the reactor.
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.
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
Enrico Fermi
The nuclear reactor doesn't care. Only the turbines that spin the generators do.
Only if things go badly wrong and radioactivity leaks from the reactor
The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
A Nuclear Reactor.
Less power will be created.
Carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, acetylene, methane, cyanides, and many more. The main concerns for a nuclear reactor are the potential for radiation leaks and the warming of adjacent waterways.
By "nuclear leaks" is meant the leakage of radioactive material from a nuclear facility such as a nuclear reactor or a store of spent fuel. This would only happen if the fuel had been damaged and the zircaloy sheathing was leaking, and also the contents of the reactor or store were leaking into the atmosphere. The leaked material could be gaseous like iodine, or could be particulate.
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.
Nuclear fission occurs in the reactor core of a nuclear reactor. This is where nuclear fuel, typically uranium, is arranged in such a way that it sustains a chain reaction of splitting atoms, releasing energy in the process.
No, control rods in nuclear reactors are not used to stop leaks. Control rods are used to regulate the power output of the reactor by absorbing neutrons and controlling the rate of nuclear fission. To stop a leak in a nuclear reactor, different containment and safety systems are employed to isolate and contain the leak.
It is a continuous instantaneous process that happens in the nuclear breeder reactor.
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
