40 to 50 years
Nuclear energy can last for millions of years, as it is generated by the process of nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. The duration of nuclear energy depends on the amount of available nuclear fuel and the efficiency of the reactor.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
I didnt measure when I had it in hand but I would guess 12cm diameter, and maybe 80 cm long, for a magnox reactor anyway
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.

A Nuclear Reactor.
The lifespan of a kilogram of uranium inside a nuclear reactor depends on the type of reactor and its operating conditions. Typically, a kilogram of uranium in a reactor can generate energy for several years before needing to be replaced or refueled. The amount of energy generated also depends on the efficiency and design of the reactor.
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time

The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
