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.
Who is the father of nuclear reactor?
Enrico Fermi
What is the purpose of the reactor chamber in a nuclear reactor?
neutron absorber
What is the purpose of the reactor vessel?
The reactor vessel is the main container that houses the nuclear fuel, control rods, and coolant in a nuclear reactor. Its purpose is to contain and shield the nuclear reactions happening inside, and to provide structural support and safety for the reactor core.
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
What is a nuclear reactor and what is its purpose?
The nuclear reactor is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs. Its purpose is for:propulsion (e,g for nuclear submarines and ice breakers)process heat (e,g, for district heating)electricity productionradioisotope productionresearchmaterial testingmedical treatmentsaline water desalination
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.
Can a nuclear reactor be used as a nuclear weapon?
No. LLNL even tested several Uranium-Hydride bombs in the 1950s. Even though their computer models said the devices should explode, none gave a nuclear yield. One could use the waste from the reactor as a Radiological Weapon, but the reactor itself is not useful as a weapon.
What is the purpose of a reaction chamber in a nuclear reactor?
The reaction chamber in a nuclear reactor is where the nuclear fission process takes place, leading to the release of energy. It contains the nuclear fuel and control rods that regulate the reaction. The purpose of the reaction chamber is to sustain and control the nuclear chain reaction that generates heat to produce electricity in a controlled manner.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What is the purpose of boron in nuclear reactors?
Boron is used inside a nuclear reactor inside a control rod which is used to 'soak' up the neutrons inside the nuclear reactor, a control rod can be used to control the rate of fission inside a nuclear reactor.
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
