The inventor of the nuclear reactor was Atticus Finch. He was a scholar at MIT and got a master in space technition. In 1942 he invented the nuclear reactor to help the Germans in WWII. The Americans later stole it.
The inventor of both the nuclear reactor & nuclear bomb was Leo Szilard in London in 1933, he patented them in 1934. But as no fissionable or fissile material was known at the time neither could be built. It took Otto Frisch's 1938 discovery that the rare isotope Uranium-235 fissioned to make the practical and the US investment in industrial infrastructure between 1942 and 1945 to purify enough of it to make them actually buildable.
What else can I help you with?
Inventor of atomic reactor?
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
What inventions did Lloyd quarterman invent?
the atomic bomb and the nuclear reactor
Who was the inventor of first nuclear plant?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
What were some of the uses for the first nuclear reactor?
The very first nuclear reactor was Chicago Pile 1. It was built for research and scientific use. The first nuclear reactor outside of a university was built (at Hanford, Washington) primarily to yield plutonium for the atomic bomb destined for Nagasaki, Japan. Nuclear reactors were built primarily for electrical generation beginning in about 1951.
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.
Inventor of atomic reactor?
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
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.
How do you use radioactive material?
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
What inventions did Lloyd quarterman invent?
the atomic bomb and the nuclear reactor
Could a type of bomb pierce the melting rods of a nuclear reactor?
yes
Who is author of nuclear reactor time bomb?
The "nuclear reactor time bomb" theory was popularized by author and scientist Amory Lovins in the 1970s. Lovins argued that nuclear reactors posed safety risks and could lead to catastrophic accidents or intentional sabotage, likening them to a ticking time bomb.
How do you differentiate production of energy in an atom bomb and a nuclear reactor?
an atom bomb is uncontrolled and the reaction is over in a few microsecondsa reactor is controlled and the reaction can continueuninterrupted for years or longer
Does the atomic bomb produce more energythan a nuclear reactor?
That would depend on the yield of the bomb, the power rating of the reactor, and the lifetime of the reactor. Bombs release all their energy in microseconds, reactors take years or decades.
How expensive is nuclear fusion?
At this time:in a bomb, very cheapin a reactor, not yet possible
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
