Parent topics
- Nuclear power reconsidered [r]: a reconsideration of nuclear power plants (using non-explosive nuclear reactions to make steam, which in turn is used to generate electricity) in light of current world factors [e]
- Nuclear_fission [r]: A reaction by which a nucleus of a suitable isotope of an element with a high atomic number splits into two nuclei of lower atomic numbers and one or more neutrons and a relatively large release of energy per atom. [e]
- Radioactivity [r]: The property of the unstable nuclei of chemical elements to decay into another isotope, emitting energy or particles [e]
- Steam generator [r]: A device that uses a heat source to boil liquid water and convert it into its vapor phase, referred to as steam. [e]
Subtopics
- Boiling Water Reactor [r]: (BWR) A type of nuclear power reactor in which the heat of the reactor is applied directly to the water that becomes steam and spins the turbine; the water, and eventually the turbine, becomes radioactive [e]
- Nuclear power plant steam generation
- CANDU [r]: A pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR), initially developed in the late 1950's in Canada. [e]
- Boiling Water Reactor [r]: (BWR) A type of nuclear power reactor in which the heat of the reactor is applied directly to the water that becomes steam and spins the turbine; the water, and eventually the turbine, becomes radioactive [e]
- Fast neutron reactor [r]: a nuclear reactor in which the fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons, as opposed to thermal neutrons, requiring fuel rich in fissile material and not requiring a neutron moderator. [e]
