for pressurized light water reactor type, as an example, the nuclear reactor components are
* Reactor vessel (that contains the nuclear fuel and surrounded with water and contains control rod for power control and for safety) * reactor coolant pump * steam generator * reactor pressurizer
* piping out of the vessel to the pressurizer, from pressurizer to steam generator, from steam generator to reactor coolant pump, and from pump back to the reactor vessel.

What is the part of a nuclear reactor called where the nuclear reaction takes place?
The part of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reaction takes place is called the reactor core. It typically contains the fuel rods, control rods, and coolant necessary for sustaining and controlling the nuclear reaction.
What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
A nuclear reactor primarily emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays. These gamma rays are released during the nuclear fission process that occurs in the reactor core. Additionally, reactors may also release some neutron radiation through reactions with the reactor's components.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What does a nuclear look like?
A nuclear reactor is typically a large cylindrical structure or containment building that houses the nuclear fuel rods, control systems, and other components needed for generating power from nuclear reactions. It can vary in size and design depending on the type of reactor (e.g., pressurized water reactor, boiling water reactor). The external appearance may resemble a large industrial facility with cooling towers or other specialized structures.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
What is the part of a nuclear reactor called where the nuclear reaction takes place?
The part of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reaction takes place is called the reactor core. It typically contains the fuel rods, control rods, and coolant necessary for sustaining and controlling the nuclear reaction.
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?
Fuel cells in a nuclear reactor are the structural components where nuclear fission reactions occur, generating heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The fuel cells contain the nuclear fuel (such as uranium) and control rods to regulate the nuclear reactions.
What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
A nuclear reactor primarily emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays. These gamma rays are released during the nuclear fission process that occurs in the reactor core. Additionally, reactors may also release some neutron radiation through reactions with the reactor's components.
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
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.
Does South Africa has a nuclear reactor?
yes, south Africa has a nuclear reactor.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.

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.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Do Breeder reactor and nuclear reactor have similarities?
A breeder reactor is one type of nuclear reactor, but not a type that is in general commercial use at the present time
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.
