What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
What is the name of the first Indian nuclear reactor?
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
What does scram mean for a nuclear reactor?
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
Do Breeder reactor and nuclear reactor have similarities?
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
Are there more are there one type of nuclear reactor?
the boiling water reactor, pressurized water reactor, and the LMFB reactor
What type of nuclear reaction occurs in a reactor?
Nuclear fission is the primary type of nuclear reaction that occurs in a reactor. It involves the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei to release energy.
Name one type of nuclear reactor?
One type of nuclear reactor is the pressurized water reactor (PWR). In a PWR, the heat generated by nuclear fission in the reactor core is transferred to water, which circulates through the core to create steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
What type of reactor produces more fuel than it consumes?
a fission nuclear reactor -binky
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
What is a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor?
A Thorium Molten Salt Reactor is a type of nuclear reactor that uses thorium as a fuel instead of uranium. It operates at high temperatures and uses a liquid fuel mixture of molten salts. One potential advantage of this type of reactor is reduced nuclear waste production compared to traditional reactor designs.
What is the name of the fuel used in the nuclear reactor?
The fuel used in a nuclear reactor is typically uranium. Specifically, the most common type of uranium used is uranium-235, which undergoes nuclear fission to produce energy in the reactor.
What type of energy requires a uranium and a reactor?
Nuclear energy, because uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
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.
How many pounds of uranium are in a nuclear reactor?
The quantity depends on: the type of the reactor, power of the reactor, enrichment of uraniu, chemical form of the fuel, etc. For a research reactor some kilograms, for a power reactor more than 100 tonnes/year.
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
