A Nuclear Reactor is otherwise known as a Fission Reactor, Atomic Power Plant, or U-Plant, and functions by the splitting of radioactive atomic nuclide isotopes.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
A Nuclear Reactor, or Fission Reactor (U-Plant) functions by a moderated and controlled chain reaction of "fissioning" or spontaneous splitting of heavy atomic radioactive nuclides into smaller daughter nuclides, generating energetic neutrons, gamma photons, and potentially alpha and beta particles which create heat as a byproduct of the shielding from these products.
Classification & Types of Fission Reactors[edit]
Fuel Types:[edit]
- Thorium Reactor
- Uranium Reactor
- Plutonium Reactor
- Mixed oxide (MOX) fuel Reactor
- Uranium-plutonium alloy Reactor
- Transuranic-element mix Reactor (Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium)
Coolant/Moderator Types:[edit]
- Thermal-neutron Reactors (TNR):
- Light Water Reactors (LWR):
- Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)
- Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)
- Supercritical Water Reactor (SCWR)
- Heavy Water Reactors (HWR):
-
- Boiling heavy-water cooled Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR)
- Boiling light-water cooled Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR)
- Gas-cooled Reactors (GCR)
- Fast Neutron reactors (FNR):
