Downsizing is not going to help, the largest yet, JET, has only given a very short pulse of fusion. The requirement is to upsize it, and this will be ITER. You can find this in Wikipedia.

Why is a coolant important in a nuclear reactor?

Coolant is important in a nuclear reactor to transfer heat away from the reactor core, preventing it from overheating. It helps regulate the temperature within safe limits by absorbing and removing the heat generated during the nuclear fission process. Additionally, coolant also serves to slow down neutrons to facilitate efficient fission reactions.


What does lower control rods result in?

Lowering control rods into a nuclear reactor results in reducing the number of nuclear fission reactions occurring in the reactor core. This process helps to regulate the power output of the reactor by absorbing neutrons and decreasing the rate of nuclear reactions.


Is potassium used as nuclear reactor coolant?

Yes, potassium is sometimes used as a coolant in liquid metal fast breeder reactors. It has good heat-transfer properties and low neutron absorption, making it suitable for this application. However, its reactivity with water and air limits its use in some reactor designs.


Why can't submarines stay too long under water?

Modern nuclear submarines have years of power in their reactor cores, and support equipment supplies water and keeps the air clean. There are, however, limits to the amount of provisions that can be stored aboard, and that limits time under water.


What factor most greatly limits the power of the US government?

The power of congress is limited by a system of checks and balances. Congress is divided into The House and The Senate. If a proposal passes both of these, then the President has the power to veto the proposal.


What removes excess heat from the reactor's circulating water system?

In a PWR the reactor's circulating water (the primary circuit) goes through steam raising units where it gives up heat to the secondary water circuit and produces steam there which goes to the turbine. In a BWR the reactor produces a mixture of steam and water, the steam is separated and goes to the turbine where it is eventually cooled in the turbine condenser.


What are the chances of miscarriage after a radiation miscarriage?

That"s a new one on me- Atoms can split- with usuallly humungous destructive effect- but I have never heard of a radiation miscarriage, though I am sure it can happen. It has been found crewmen who serve too long in the reactor compartments on Atomic subs- and these operate ( buttoned-up) for 90 day patrols) have shown symptoms of sterility. Naturally there are limits on how much sub duty the crewman can serve- and to some extent the problem can be ameliorated by remote controls- generally placing the reactor room (Off limits) in normal duty hours. This is another argument against Waves on submarines!

What limits are there to the observations that scientist can make?

Scientists are limited by the capabilities of their equipment and technology, as well as by their own biases and limitations in perception. Additionally, natural phenomena may be inherently unpredictable or chaotic, which can also pose limits on what observations can be made.
