It is a reactor, where atomic nuclei are either combined (fusion) or split (fission), with the consequent release of energy .
That great big bright yellow UFO ( unidentified flying object) in the sky , the SUN is a giant nuclear reactor, whereby hydrogen nuclei are fused together to form helium nuclei. , with the consequent release of energy ; electromagnetic waves( heat, radio waves, UV waves , light etc.,)
If we could see inside a nuclear reactor on Earth it would just look the same, however, nuclear reactors on Earth are just used to collect heat, for electric generation.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
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 purpose of the reactor vessel?
The reactor vessel is the main container that houses the nuclear fuel, control rods, and coolant in a nuclear reactor. Its purpose is to contain and shield the nuclear reactions happening inside, and to provide structural support and safety for the reactor core.
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 function of reflector and reactor core?
The reflector in a nuclear reactor helps to reflect neutrons back into the reactor core, increasing the chances of nuclear reactions occurring. The reactor core is where the nuclear reactions take place, generating heat that is used to produce electricity.
How is energy lost in a nuclear reactor?
how am i meant to know you
What is the Japanese Nuclear Reactor?
A Nuclear Reactor.
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.
Functions of nuclear reactors?
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
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.
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 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.
When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
What is the name of the first Indian nuclear reactor?
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
