Carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, acetylene, methane, cyanides, and many more. The main concerns for a nuclear reactor are the potential for radiation leaks and the warming of adjacent waterways.
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
It doesn't produce radioactive byproducts.
Depends on the output of the reactor, but new PWR's are rated at about 1500 MW (megawatts), so in one day would produce 1500 x 24 Megawatthours = 36,000 MWh
The first reactor in 1942 showed that it would work, and larger ones were built at Hanford Wa to produce plutonium for the A-bomb
There is a small reactor at Sydney used to produce radioisotopes. No power reactors.
how electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor
To produce heat.
It doesn't produce radioactive byproducts.
To produce electricity
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
Read the link below.
Usually to provide thermal power in order to produce electricity, sometimes to produce radioisotopes
It is a continuous instantaneous process that happens in the nuclear breeder reactor.
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
The use is to produce electricity from a nuclear reactor plant
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
