Explain the principle and working of a nuclear reactor with a neat diagram?
A nuclear reactor uses controlled nuclear reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce electricity. The reactor core contains nuclear fuel rods, usually made of uranium, which undergo fission when bombarded by neutrons, releasing heat and more neutrons. The heat produced is used to create steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. Control rods are used to regulate the reaction by absorbing neutrons and controlling the rate of fission.
Could a reactor be fueled with americium?
The Russians are working on the problem of creating a nuclear reactor fuel out of americium, but they're still working the problem. In addition, they haven't built a reactor that uses americium as a nuclear fuel yet, either.
What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?
This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
How fast does a nuclear fusion reactor work?
A nuclear fusion reactor works by creating high temperatures and pressures to fuse atomic nuclei together, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. The reaction itself happens very quickly, with fusion reactions occurring on the order of microseconds. However, sustaining and controlling the reaction to generate continuous energy requires sophisticated equipment and technology.
What is a nuclear power plant in mechanical?
A nuclear power plant is a power plant where nuclear reactions (which take place in a reactor core) create a lot of heat, and that heat is used as a power source (a heat source) to generate steam. The steam is then used in the conventional manner to spin electric generators to create electricity, which is then put on the power grid for distribution. There are several different designs in operation. Wikipedia has more information to get you started in your investigation.

A working nuclear reactor is a very simple energy conversion device?
A nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear reactions into heat, which is then used to produce steam. The steam drives turbines connected to generators, ultimately producing electricity. Despite its complexity, the fundamental principle is the conversion of nuclear energy into electrical energy.

Is the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant controlled or uncontrolled?
Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.

How many nuclear power stations are in Australia?
There are no nuclear power plants in Australia. There is one small working nuclear reactor at the Lucas Heights research facility in Sydney.
What are the most important parts of a nuclear plant?
reactor, steam turbine, and a (hopefully working) cooling system.
What is the working principle of thorium based fast breeder reactor?
thorium is breed to make uranium-233 fuel
Is nuclear waste a renewable resource?
The waste from nuclear reactors can in principle be reprocessed to extract plutonium, which can be used to fuel nuclear reactors. But this is not "renewable" it is just recycling fuel the reactor made, this process can at best multiply the amount available reactor fuel by roughly 100 times, then we run out. Only France reprocesses their nuclear waste, other countries have abandoned it largely from the unjustified fear that reprocessed plutonium reactor fuel might be "stolen" to build atomic bombs (normal power reactor generated plutonium has very high levels of the undesired plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 which make it impossible to build working atomic bombs with that plutonium).
