How much does it cost to run a nuclear reactor?
The cost to run a nuclear reactor can vary depending on factors like the size of the reactor, maintenance requirements, and operating expenses. Generally, it can cost millions to tens of millions of dollars annually to operate a nuclear reactor.
How much electricity does plutonium possess?
Your question is slightly off. You could ask how much energy plutonium has, since plutonium can be used as a fuel to run a nuclear power plant and to generate electricity (although the usual use of plutonium is to make atomic bombs - the normal fuel in nuclear power plants us uranium, not plutonium) but the element itself contains potential nuclear energy, not electricity. Nuclear energy can be converted into electricity. I will also note that it is can't be converted directly into electricity. It can be converted into heat, and the heat can be used to boil water to run a steam turbine which then generates electricity. In terms of usable energy content, I am not going to give you an exact equivalence, but it is possible to create something like a 50 kiloton explosion (one equal to the explosive force of 50,000 tons of dynamite) with about 30 pounds of plutonium. So it contains a lot of energy.
What fuels are used in nuclear power production?
The primary fuels we generally see used in nuclear power plants are the fissile materials uranium and plutonium. In the case of uranium, the metal is recovered from the ground, and is then processed and refined for use as fuel. In reactors using enriched uranium, the uranium will have to undergo considerable processing to increase the concentration of the U-235 isotope that is fissionable. (Natural uranium is mostly U-238.) In the case of plutonium, we can make it by exposing U-238 to neutron flux in an operating nuclear reactor.
How much electrical energy in joules does a nuclear power reactor generate in one day?
The amount of electrical energy generated by a nuclear power reactor in one day can vary depending on its capacity and efficiency. However, a typical nuclear power reactor can generate around 1-2 billion joules of electrical energy per day.
How can the rate of reaction be slowed down in a nuclear fission reactor?
By inserting the control rods which absorb neutrons using boron, cadmium, or other material with a large neutron capture crosssection. If the reactor should begin to run out of control the SCRAM system will suddenly insert large amounts of neutron absorbing material, instantly stopping the neutron chain reaction.
Is nuclear waste a renewable resource?
The waste from nuclear reactors can in principle be reprocessed to extract plutonium, which can be used to fuel nuclear reactors. But this is not "renewable" it is just recycling fuel the reactor made, this process can at best multiply the amount available reactor fuel by roughly 100 times, then we run out. Only France reprocesses their nuclear waste, other countries have abandoned it largely from the unjustified fear that reprocessed plutonium reactor fuel might be "stolen" to build atomic bombs (normal power reactor generated plutonium has very high levels of the undesired plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 which make it impossible to build working atomic bombs with that plutonium).

What is fed batch continuous reactor?
There is no fed batch continuous reactor as far as i know. But there are batch, fed-batch and continuous type reactors. Basically a batch reactor is one in which you fill up all the things and lock it down for fermentation while in a fed batch you keep putting the feed in and allow cells to grow as much as possible or until you reach the capacity of the reactor where as in a continuous reactor you keep feeding in and taking out the product continuously that is why continuous type reactors run for long time like weeks or months.

Why was auto run developed for computers?
Auto run was developed for computers with the purpose of making life easier for users. With it, programs can be run faster and without as much knowledge needed from the user.
Fission reactions can be run continously to generate electric power commercially because?
A steady state chain fission reaction is set up in the reactor, when just enough of the neutrons released in each fission is captured by other fissionable nuclei to keep the number of fissions occurring every second at a constant level. Thus the reactor power is held at a steady level. The reactor in terms of nuclear properties is then said to be "critical". As operation proceeds the U-235 gets used up, but this is counteracted to some extent by the production of plutonium from U-238, the plutonium also being fissionable. Eventually the reactor runs out of fissionable material and has to be refuelled, but this can be only at intervals of two years or so, between these refuelling outages the power output can be maintained continously.
