How big is the reactor vessel in a boiling water reactor?
A reactor vessel in a boiling water reactor is approximately 300 tons.
What is the function of the pressure vessel of a nuclear reactor?
The pressure vessel of a nuclear reactor contains the reactor core and helps to maintain a high pressure environment to prevent coolant water from boiling. It also serves as a barrier to contain radioactive materials and provide structural support for the reactor.
What are the necessary components for a nuclear reactor?
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 a part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
Nuclear fission takes place in the nuclear fuel rods that are placed in the reactor core that is situated in the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor pressure vessel is usually situated inside the reactor containment.
What is a reactor jacket?
A reactor jacket is a protective outer covering surrounding a reactor vessel or tank. It helps to regulate the temperature inside the reactor by providing insulation and allowing for temperature control through the circulation of heating or cooling fluids. This helps to maintain optimal conditions for chemical reactions or other processes taking place inside the reactor.

What is stirred vessel reactor and its configuration?
'Stirred vessel'? Not an expression I know.

What is the purpose of the reactor chamber in a nuclear reactor?
neutron absorber
What are the functions of pressure vessel and turbine in a nuclear reactor?
The pressure vessel contains the reactor core with its fuel, coolant, moderator, control elements, and emergency systems. The turbine is the device that on receiving the steam it spins and turns the electric generators to produce electricity.

What is powered by a nuclear reactor?
A steam turbine/generating unit, or a naval vessel

What are the basic parts of nuclear reactor?
For the PWR, the reactor core which is an array of fuel assemblies, inside a very strong pressure vessel made of thick steel. The top of the vessel is removable for fuelling, and also holds the control rods and their mechanisms. The whole thing is enclosed in a secondary containment. Also inside this is the primary circuit which circulates water through the core to carry away the heat produced by the fuel assemblies, and the secondary circuit steam raising units which send steam to the turbine.

What is a high pressure reactor?
High pressure reactor is a chemical reaction vessel which can conduct a reaction under pressure. The pressure can be caused by the reaction itself or created by an external source. Reactor can be used for sample modification with hydrogen, carbon dioxide, acetylene etc.
