What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?

It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.


Is nuclear cell a plant cell or an animal cell?

A Nuclear cell is the Brain of the cell and it is in the plant and the animal cells.


What are the main reasons why nuclear fusion have not been used in nuclear reactors?

Well, scientists have been researching fusion reactors for over 50 years, but nuclear fusion is much more difficult to achieve than nuclear fission, which is what current nuclear power technology is based on. There are many reasons for this, but while there have been tests and advancements in the field, scientists have yet to a) create a sustainable and stable nuclear fusion reaction and b) create a reaction that has a greater output than input.


Which type of power plant requires maximum expenditure?

Nuclear power plants require the highest initial expenditure compared to other types of power plants due to the complex technology and infrastructure needed to harness nuclear energy. Additionally, nuclear power plants have high costs associated with safety measures, waste disposal, and decommissioning at the end of their operational life.


Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?

No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
