What else can I help you with?
What is pwr and bwr?
I think you are talking about nuclear reactors. PWR is a Pressurized Water Reactor, and is the basis for most power generators. BWR is a Boiling Water Reactor. As the water is a major moderating component, controlling the speed and intensity of the nuclear reaction, the steam bubbles in a BWR can present a problem.
What nuclear energy is the United States using?
In 2007, US nuclear power plants generated 806.5 billion KWh. This was 19.4 percent of total US electricity. 69 PWR and 35 BWR reactors contributed to this total. Source: Nuclear Energy Institute, www.nei.org
Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
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 do you get nuclear energy at?
A nuclear power reactor, mainly PWR and BWR types.
Examples for nuclear energy?
PWR and BWR reactor types. Look up in Wikipedia.
How is nuclear energy separated?
In a nuclear reactor the nuclear energy released by fission appears as heat in the fuel rods, which is then transferred to the reactor coolant (ie water in PWR and BWR)
What types of nuclear energy generates electircity?
At present only nuclear fission can be used, in various types of reactor. The PWR and BWR are the most commonly used.
How nuclear energy is used today?
Mostly in reactors fuelled by Uranium and moderated and cooled by light water (PWR and BWR types)
What are some inventions that use nuclear energy?
Nuclear Reactors of various types like BWR, PWR, PHWR and LWRs. Medical Devices for MRI scanning Radiography and X-rays are also based on principles of Nuclear Energy. There are many more.....
When is nuclear fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
What are example of nuclear energy?
Most Answers are Founded Out By:Sun's Rays, Other Star's Rays ETC.what are objects that use nuclear energy?
When is fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
How tall are the nuclear fuel rods in japan?
The nuclear fuel rods in the BWR design in Japan are about 12 feet long.
What Is Most Cheap Method Of Getting Nuclear Power?
Reactors of the BWR and PWR types
