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
QUICK REVISION ( ARTICLE:3, SCIENCE): TYPE OF Nuclear Reactors COMPONENTS OF NUCLEAR REACTOR: Fuel: Usually pellets of uranium oxide (UO2) arranged in tubes to form fuel rods. The rods are arranged into fuel assemblies in the reactor core • Moderator: This is material which slows down the neutrons released … Read more
