Who invented the breeder reactor?
The person who invented the Breeder Reactor in the 1950s was by a team led by Walter Zinn
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
What type of reactor produces more radioactive fuel enough to fuel an additional reactor about every 7-10 years?
This would be a breeder reactor, specifically a fast breeder, which means one that operates with a fast neutron spectrum, ie not a moderated reactor. This breeds fissile fuel from non-fissile U-238. Prototypes have been built and operated but are not commercially viable at the present time as it is easier and cheaper to obtain new fuel from the normal mining-refining-enrichment route.
What are a completely mixed flow reactor and its concentration characterisrtics?
a completely mixed reactor. the concentration in the reactor is the same that flows our of the reactor
What is nuclear fuel residence time?
Generally speaking, the term residence time as applied to nuclear fuels speaks to the amount of time something like uranium (meaning 239U) will have to spend in the neutron flux of a breeder reactor to become transformed into fissile nuclear fuel. The geometry (size and shape) of the fuel pellets and the location in the reactor (the neutron flux density) will dictate how long the stuff will have to be left in there to produce the desired product.
Location of prototype fast breeder reactor?
The advantage is mainly that more active fuel can be created than is used, so getting 'something for nothing'. However experimental reactors such as the sodium cooled fast reactor at Dounreay in Scotland have proved very difficult in practice, with material problems, and as far as I know such experiments are in abeyance at the moment.
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
Who invented the breeder reactor?
The person who invented the Breeder Reactor in the 1950s was by a team led by Walter Zinn
When did North Korea breeder reactor start?
A breeder reactor is generally defined as a power generating reactor that breeds at least sufficient plutonium to replace the U235/Pu which it has consumed. To the best of my knowledge, North Korea does not have such a reactor.
What type of reactor makes more fissionable material?
A breeder reactor
What is a FBB reactor?
You may mean FBR - this stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
How many days does a breeder reactor require to produce plutonium-239 from uranium-238?
It is a continuous instantaneous process that happens in the nuclear breeder reactor.
How are breeder reactors and nuclear reactor different?
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
Does breeder reactor consists of fission reaction?
yes
How does one use a breeder reactor?
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
What was the artificial element formed in a breeder reactor?
You may mean Ununoctium, created in Moscow in 2002. The proposed true name is Moscowium.
What is UK 's first fast breeder reactor in Scotland called?
Dounreay PFR (Prototype Fast Reactor)
