Nuclear Reactors A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power Plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which in … Read more

What is a Fuel Cell? A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy from a fuel into electrical energy and heat. Fuel cells are similar to batteries in that they both convert chemical energy into electrical energy, but fuel cells do not run down and need to be recharged. Instead, they can … Read more
