How many pounds of uranium are in a nuclear reactor?
The quantity depends on: the type of the reactor, power of the reactor, enrichment of uraniu, chemical form of the fuel, etc. For a research reactor some kilograms, for a power reactor more than 100 tonnes/year.
What is the advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor compared to other types of power generation?
One advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor is that it can generate a large amount of energy from a small amount of fuel, making it a more efficient and cost-effective option compared to other types of power generation.
Is Australia nuclear free?
There is a small reactor at Sydney used to produce radioisotopes. No power reactors.
How much electricity can a nuclear reactor produce?
Nuclear reactors vary in size the same way any engine does. On the small size, they could produce tens of kilowatts. On the large side they can produce gigawatts. Commercial nuclear reactors that provide power to electrical grids produce about half a gigawatt to about one and a half gigawatts. They do not produce power continuously, even if there are no problems. They have to be shut down periodically for refueling.
What is the physical shape of nuclear fuel?
Nuclear fuel typically comes in the form of small cylindrical pellets, usually made of uranium dioxide. These pellets are stacked together inside long metal tubes called fuel rods, which are then assembled into a fuel assembly to be used in a nuclear reactor.
How many nuclear power stations are in Australia?
There are no nuclear power plants in Australia. There is one small working nuclear reactor at the Lucas Heights research facility in Sydney.
How many nuclear reactors are there in Australia?
there are no nuclear reactors in Australia hopfuly the are none!
What reactor does Australia use?
Australia seems resolute not to use nuclear power for electricity, despite using large amounts of coal at present. There is a need for medical radioisotopes of course, and these have been produced in a small low power reactor HIFAR at Lucas Heights near Sydney, for many years. This reactor has now been shutdown and replaced by a new one called OPAL, which has the same functions, this is a low power open pool type reactor. See link below for details.
When was the first small nuclear reactor invented?
In 1942, Chicago
Use small prototype of the nuclear reactor in vehicles?
not practical

Did japan have a nuclear weapons program?
A small one, aimed mostly at nuclear power. But it never even got a functioning prototype reactor.
How does a nuclear sub marine convert its fuel into motion?
A small scale version of a nuclear power plant-thermal energy from the nuclear reactor is used to raise steam to drive turbines
Is nuclear waste stored in Colorado?
There are no nuclear power plants in Colorado. The only source of waste might be from a small teaching or medical isotope reactor, I have no information on this.
