What must happen for nuclear reactor to make electricity?
a chain reaction
What is the function of the control rods in a nuclear reactor?
They are used in nuclear reactor to control the rate of fission of uranium and plutonium. Because these elements have different capture cross sections for neutrons of varying energies, the compositions of the control rods must be designed for the neutron spectrum of the reactor it is supposed to control.
What must metal fuel rods inside a nuclear reactor be bombarded with in order to start a chain reaction?
The metal fuel rods inside a nuclear reactor must be bombarded with neutrons in order to start a chain reaction. This process triggers the fission of uranium atoms in the fuel rods, releasing energy in the form of heat.
How long does a nuclear reactor last?
The lifespan of a nuclear reactor can vary depending on factors such as maintenance, regulatory approvals, and upgrades. Typically, commercial nuclear reactors are designed to operate for 40-60 years, with some being granted license extensions to continue operating beyond their initial design life. After this period, decisions must be made about either decommissioning the reactor or investing in further upgrades to extend its operation.
Severe overheating of a nuclear reactor core?
The ultimate would be to cause melting of the fuel. It must be shown (theoretically) that this would be contained in the bottom of the reactor vessel. The fission chain reaction would have stopped but there is after heat from radioactive decay and this must be absorbed by emergency cooling to avoid damage to the vessel. This is an extreme case and might be caused by a severe loss of cooling accident, but is very unlikely in most reactors.
Why does air must be excluded from the reactor vessel during cracking?
Disclosed is a method for preventing hydrogen-induced disbanding of austenitic stainless steel cladding, which is made on a low alloy steel, in a reactor vessel which has been used in a high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen atmosphere so the air must be excluded. The clad steel is cooled from its operating temperature to a temperature which is not lower than 100° C. Then, the clad steel is maintained at a temperature between said temperature which is not lower than 100° C. and a post weld heat treatment so as to effect hydrogen degassing treatment. Thereafter, the clad steel is further cooled.
To prevent fuel damage decay heat must be removed from the reactor core?
after the reactor shuts down
What parts of a nuclear reactor must be removed and replaced periodically?
fuel rods
For us to see something light from it must enter our?
It must enter our eyes.
Why are your f50 soccer cleats cracking?
they could be cracking because they are old or worn out. you must where them alot so that is one of the reasons they are worn out but it might be the shoes are defected how old are they??
Why must you distill slowly when cracking cyclopentadiene?
Distilling slowly during the cracking of cyclopentadiene is important to prevent excessive foaming and splattering, which can lead to loss of product and safety hazards. Slow distillation also helps to carefully separate the desired product from impurities without causing thermal degradation or side reactions.

During an engines intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air-and-fuel mixture flow through in order to enter the cylinder?
Intake valve must be open
What is part of a nuclear reactor which could cause a major pollution?
The fuel itself, which contains some very radioactive material, so it must be kept in a safe condition at all times, both during operation and after it is unloaded and stored
Why nuclear reactors roof is spherical?
I guess it's the strongest form of structure to form the end of the upright cylinder which is the basic reactor enclosure. The reactor must be enclosed with a structure which can contain the worst type of reactor failure which would release a lot of steam. It also protects the reactor and its equipment from the weather.

Because these elements have different capture cross sections for neutrons of varying energies, the compositions of the control rods must be designed for the neutron spectrum of the reactor it is supposed to control.
Difference between breeder reactors and nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor is different from the breeder reactor because it generates energy through fission. Historically, in order to be called a breeder, a reactor must be specifically designed to create more fissile material than it consumes. this is what I've looked up and been able to find
