What are the basic parts of nuclear reactor?
For the PWR, the reactor core which is an array of fuel assemblies, inside a very strong pressure vessel made of thick steel. The top of the vessel is removable for fuelling, and also holds the control rods and their mechanisms. The whole thing is enclosed in a secondary containment. Also inside this is the primary circuit which circulates water through the core to carry away the heat produced by the fuel assemblies, and the secondary circuit steam raising units which send steam to the turbine. See link below
What is the lead casing encasing a nuclear reactor core called?
It is called a radiation containment shield.Related Information:It would normally be placed around the outside of the sealed, steel pressure vessel that contains the reactor core. This is because the core temperature can easily exceed the melting point of lead which would not only defeat its purpose, but cause a contamination problem as well.Lead does an excellent job of absorbing gamma radiation and migrating neutrons. So it is used extensively to shield the environment from dangerous radiation.
Is a vessel a container?
Yes, a 'vessel' can be a container.
Why is it important to limit the amount of rainwater allowed to acculmulate inside of secondary containment structures?
Limiting the amount of rainwater in secondary containment structures prevents overflow, which can lead to environmental contamination if hazardous materials stored in the containment spill. Excess rainwater can also compromise the integrity of the containment structure itself, increasing the risk of leaks and failures. Regular maintenance and monitoring of rainwater levels help mitigate these risks.
How nuclear reactor containment spray system works?
A nuclear reactor containment spray system typically consists of a network of pipes and nozzles that spray water or other cooling agents onto the reactor containment structure in the event of an emergency. This helps to remove heat from the reactor and prevent the containment structure from overheating, which can lead to the release of radioactive material. The spray system is designed to provide an additional layer of safety and is activated automatically or manually in response to specific conditions.
What was The purpose and results of the Korea War?
Communist containment.
Is ship and vessels synonyms?
No, a vessel could be a number of things, such as a containment pod or space shuttel.
What was the purpose of the US policy of containment was to stop the spread of what?

The purpose of the United States policy of containment was to stop the spread of?
appeaseement
What was the song playing in the background of ghostbusters when they shut down the containment vessel?
That song is "Magic" by Mick Smiley. It is on the Ghostbusters soundtrack.
What does vessel symbolizes?
A vessel can symbolize containment, holding, or transformation. It can also represent a person's body or soul carrying something important or valuable. Additionally, vessels can symbolize journey, exploration, or the passage of time.
What is the difference between cold war and containment?
Cold War was the name of the game. Containment was a movement. Example: If a communist tank advanced 100 yards towards the border; an allied tank would counter that move...in an effort to containment any movement. If a communist jet entered neutral airspace, an allied jet might want to accompany it upon it's flight. If a communist vessel cruised the seas, an allied vessel would screen it (follow it/shadow it).
What has the author V L Porter written?
V. L. Porter has written: 'Pretest analyses of the steel containment vessel model' -- subject(s): Mathematical models, Safety measures, Nuclear reactors, Nuclear pressure vessels, Containment
Can reactors explode?
Not due to fission or a nuclear chain reaction. If the core overheats it can melt through its containment vessel and if it hits water that may have been pooled in the vessel due to a coolant leak and generates steam, it can cause a steam explosion.
What are The three main barriers in a nuclear power plant?
The three main barriers in a nuclear power plant are the fuel rods, the reactor pressure vessel, and the containment building. These barriers are designed to prevent the release of radioactive materials in the event of an accident or malfunction.
What was the purpose of a double hull vessel?
for hull saftey, because of the titanic
What are the main purpose of pressure vessels?
The main purpose of a pressure vessel is to hold gases or liquids at a pressure inside a container different to the pressure outside of the pressure vessel. Usually pressure vessels are made from steel.
