I think you are running ahead of things! If you mean ITER, which is the next stage in this quest, and has just started building, this will only be an experiment and won't have any capability to generate electricity. I doubt if that will happen for another 50 years or so, if ever indeed.

How many watts electricity is produced by a nuclear reactor?

The electricity produced by a nuclear reactor can vary depending on its size and design, but a typical nuclear reactor can generate anywhere from 500 megawatts to 1,500 megawatts of electricity.


What is PWR or BWR?

PWR stands for Pressurized Water Reactor, which uses pressurized water to transfer heat from the reactor core to the steam generators to produce electricity. BWR stands for Boiling Water Reactor, which directly produces steam in the reactor core to drive the turbines and generate electricity. Both are types of nuclear reactors used for power generation.


Where has man tried to use fusion?

Man has attempted to use fusion as a source of energy on Earth in large experimental reactors such as the Joint European Torus (JET) in the UK and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France. These projects aim to replicate the fusion reactions that occur in the sun to generate clean, abundant energy.


A boiling water nuclear reactor delivers what to the turbine blades?

A boiling water nuclear reactor delivers steam to the turbine blades. The heated water in the reactor boils and produces steam, which is then used to drive the turbine blades and generate electricity.


What are the energy transfers in a nuclear reactor?

In a nuclear reactor, energy is transferred from the fission process of uranium atoms to heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.

What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?

A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.


What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?

a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.


When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?

Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.


What was the first nuclear facility to generate electricity in the US?

What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?

This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.

How electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor?

In a nuclear reactor, electricity is produced through a process called nuclear fission. This process involves splitting uranium atoms, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity.
