NUCLEAR REACTORS A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a 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 runs through turbines. These either drive a ship’s propellers or turn electrical generators. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. Some reactors are

Nuclear Reactors An Overview Nuclear reactor is any class of devices that can initiate and control a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions. Nuclear reactors are used as research tools‚ as systems for producing radioactive isotopes‚ and most prominently as energy sources for nuclear power plants.Djeresssi (1991) Principles of operation Nuclear reactors operate on the principle of nuclear fission‚ the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller fragments. The nuclear fragments
