Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
What reactors produces heat and a new supply of the radioactive isotope Pu-239?
Breeder reactors are designed to produce both heat and Pu-239 as a byproduct. These reactors use fertile material such as uranium-238 to breed plutonium-239 through neutron capture, resulting in a self-sustaining chain reaction. The produced Pu-239 can then be used as fuel in nuclear reactors or for nuclear weapons.
Most of the world's nuclear reactors are of the type?
Most are lightwater moderated and cooled, these are the PWR and BWR. There also a substantial number of heavy water reactors, based on CANDU, and gas cooled reactors mainly now in the UK.
Most of the nuclear power plants currently operating in the US are classified as.....?
Most nuclear power plants currently operating in the US are classified as pressurized water reactors (PWRs). These reactors use water as both a coolant and moderator to generate electricity through nuclear fission. PWRs are the most common type of nuclear reactor in use worldwide.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
What type of energy requires a uranium and a reactor?
Nuclear energy, because uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Fusion is a type of what?
A type of nuclear reaction
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Used in nuclear reactors for energy?
radioactive element like uranium, plutonium......etc depends which type of nuclear reactor.

Who uses nuclear energy?
French, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germans, British and Dutch are just a few using this type of energy. Search the internet for the List of nuclear reactors this is a comprehensive annotated list of all the nuclear reactors of the world.
What are nuclear reactors called?
One type (model) of reactor is the CANDU, or Canada (CAN) dueterium-uranium (DU)reactor. Ther are also differences between fusion and fission reactors, fast and thermal reactors (the differences bing in the speed of the neutrons used to initiate the chain reaction, usually fission), light or heavy water cooled or moderated reactors, and many other distinctions.

What type of nuclear reaction does the hydrogen bomb rely on?
Nuclear fusion.
What type of nuclear reaction are used in nuclear power plants?
fission
