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

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 ENERGY Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the centre ‚ or nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the most powerful source of energy that exist. Nuclear energy is use in scientific research and in medicine treatments. It powers satellites and submarines‚ and it is used to produce electricity. People have also put nuclear energy to destructive uses through the creation of weapons.1 Nuclear energy also called ATOMIC ENERGY‚ energy

A few of the key issues in the pharma industry are regulatory and legal Issues‚ long‚ uncertain research and development‚ process access‚ pricing‚ and patent Issues (Williams & Torrens‚ 2008). Pharmaceutical discoveries since the 1950s have helped to cut death rates for chronic as well as acute conditions‚ since the 1960‚ vaccines have greatly reduced the incidence of childhood diseases— many of which once killed or disabled thousands of American children (Williams & Torrens‚ 2008).
