Is it difficult to install a chain link fence?
I'd like to install a chain link fence around my property. Are they difficult to install?
How cold do the cooling bays in nuclear power plants need to be?
The water is at atmospheric pressure, so it must be kept well below 100C to avoid high evaporation, around 30C would be ideal, and generally achievable, though this depends on the temperature of the heat sink.
Where is the nuclear envelope located in the cell?
Around the Nucleus of the Cell. It is a membrane.
How are nuclear reactors kept safe?
There are many safety procedures put in place to keep a nuclear reactor safe, first of all control rods are used inside the reactor to stop the fission reaction running out of control and melting the reactor core, constant water(coolant) is kept pumping around the reactor cool and to help soak up some of the neutrons and x-ray scans are used to check that there are no natural cracks inside the reactor.
How do you properly install a wind power generator and how much does it typically cost?
To properly install a wind power generator, it will typically cost around 40,000 dollars to install a generator that is large enough to power the entire home.
How many nuclear reactors are in the world?
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
How Many nuclear reactors are there on the Earth?
As of 2021, there are around 440 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide. These reactors are used for generating electricity through nuclear fission reactions. The number of reactors changes over time due to construction of new reactors and decommissioning of old ones.
Where in the world can you -235 be found?
in nuclear reactors around the planet
Which country has the most operational Nuclear Power Reactors in the world?
France (having 58 nuclear power reactors and one under construction) with around 80% of its electricity is produced by nuclear power.
How many of the countries in the world do not have nuclear power reactors?
There are currently (year 2013) 31 countries having nuclear power reactors. The rest are not having nuclear power.
What is the importance of nuclear power?
On december 31 2009 there were a total of 437 nuclear power reactors in operation around the world,around 80% of them developed of countries.
How many nuclear reactors are there in a nuclear power plant?
There is no fixed number, but most nuclear stations have two reactors. These are usually run quite separately, with separate generating equipment, so that whilst one reactor is being refuelled the other can continue to produce power. Some stations have more than two reactors, but usually then they have been built over a long time period and the later ones may be of an improved design.
Why is it so difficult to Cool down Atomic reactors?
Atomic reactors do not always need to be cooled as some chemical reactions are endothermic or even have no or verry little enthalpy change. Nuclear reactors on the other hand are difficult to cool for the follwign reasons: Contamination of cooling medium: The medium used to cool the reactor, usually water or a gas, is subject to intense radiation which could decompose the substance and transport radiation around the building Extreme temperatures: As nuclear reactors are extremely hot, many substances will undergo thermal decomosition and / or expand producing excess pressure. In the recent meltdowns in Japan, primary cooling water has stopped because of the earthquake. Becasue the fuel rods are no longer fully submersed, the cooling water is turning to steam then decomposing into Hydrogen and Oxygen then combusting and exploding
How big is a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear reactors can vary in size depending on their purpose. A typical commercial nuclear reactor used for generating electricity can be around 1,000 megawatts in size, which is enough to power a city of about one million people. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are also being developed that can be much smaller in size, around 50-300 megawatts.
How many nuclear bombs does China have?
11 reactors at present, but see the link below
How many nuclear power plants do you have in the us that are active?
No new nuclear plants have been built in the US in the past 20 years. The Watts Bar plant was licenced in 1996, but had been built much earlier. The last plant actually built was the River Bend plant in Louisiana, which was licenced in 1986.
What is a nuclear reactor used for?
Most nuclear reactors are built to produce electric power. A single nuclear reactor can generate enough energy to power 1,200,000 homes around the clock. The vast minority of reactors around the world are operated by power or energy companies that are licensed by the government, or by the government itself. Some smaller reactors are constructed for research, and for the production of nuclear materials used in industry and medicine. Plutonium can also be produced in reactors, and its application as a nuclear fuel or a material for a nuclear weapon is widely known.
