One of the advantages of the nuclear reactors is that they do not produce smoke particles that pollute the environment and therefore lead to the acidic rainfall. The other advantage is that it is easier to control the output of a nuclear reactor to fit a given need. One of the disadvantage of the nuclear reactors is that the disposal of the nuclear waste is very expensive.

Application of nuclear reactor?
Nuclear reactor design and operation depends largely on its application. Those applications are mainly:Electricity generationprocess heat generationresearchmaterial testingradioactive isotope productiontrainingsaline water desalinationpropulsion (e.g. submarines)
Did people melt in the chernobyl?
No, nothing happened like melting of people in Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.
Where does nuclear waste go from a nuclear submarine?
In the United States, when a nuclear submarine has "run out of" nuclear fuel for its reactor (this takes many years), the reactor may be opened, and the spent fuel sent for reprocessing at the Naval Reactors facility at the Idaho National Laboratory. The reactor's core may then be refueled. This process can take some time, and handling the spent fuel is dangerous and requires complex procedures to prevent contamination. If the submarine is to be overhauled, or retired, the fuel is removed for reprocessing, and the reactor compartment is cut out of the submarine, sealed, and moved for disposal to the Department of Energy's Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State, where they are kept in dry storage. The submarine may be welded back together, or the sections floated, until a new compartment and reactor are installed, or the vessel is cut up for scrap. Low level radioactive waste may be handled in other ways.
Is silver used in the operation of nuclear power plants?
No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
What are the advantages and disadvantages in having a natural nuclear reactor?
natural nuclear reactors are not possible now as the concentration of fissionable Uranium-235 in unenriched natural Uranium ore is too low.
What are advantages and disadvantages of nuclear and breeder reactors?
You can't compare and contrast nuclear reactors and breeder reactors, any more than you can compare a lion with a mammal. A lion is one example of many mammals; a breeder reactor is just one example of many types of nuclear reactor.
Nuclear advantages and disadvantages?
It's it is renewable
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?

What is nuclear family.what is its advantages and disadvantages?
a nuclear family is when your parents are divorced and remarried with 2 or more kids
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.
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 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.
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.
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
Advantages and disadvantages of transfer of technology?
The advantages of technology transfer is that China can mass produce United States nuclear apparatus and sell it back for cheaper prices. The main disadvantage is there are compromises to US security.
