Nuclear Reactor
A nuclear reactor is a device used to initiate and control a Nuclear fission, fission nuclear chain reaction. They are used for Nuclear power, commercial electricity, nuclear marine propulsion, marine propulsion, Weapons-grade plutonium, weapons production and Research reactor, research. Fissile material, Fissile nuclei (primarily uranium-235 or plutonium-239) absorb single neutron, neutrons and split, releasing energy and multiple neutrons, which can induce further fission. Reactors stabilize this, regulating Neutron absorber, neutron absorbers and neutron moderator, moderators in the core. Fuel efficiency is exceptionally high; Enriched uranium#Low-enriched uranium (LEU), low-enriched uranium is 120,000 times more energy dense than coal. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid Nuclear reactor#By coolant, coolant. In commercial reactors, this drives Turbine, turbines and electrical generator shafts.

Some reactors are used for district heating, and isotope production for medical and industrial use. Following the 1938 discovery of fission, many countries initiated military nuclear research programs. Early subcritical experiments probed neutronics. In 1942, the first artificial critical nuclear rea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Cancelled Nuclear Reactors In The United States
This is a list of canceled nuclear reactors in the United States. History The late 1960s and early 1970s saw a rapid growth in the development of nuclear power in the United States. By 1976, however, many nuclear plant proposals were no longer viable due to a slower rate of growth in electricity demand, significant cost and time overruns, and more complex regulatory requirements. Also, there was considerable public opposition to nuclear power in the US by this time, which contributed to delays in licensing planned nuclear power stations, and further increased costs. In 1969, a different type of reactor, Alvin Weinberg's molten salt reactor experiment at ORNL, was shut down, after proving that molten salt combined with nuclear fuel can work without a LOCA (loss of cooling accident). Although experimental, continued and aggressive development could have paved the way to much safer and less expensive reactors. and By the end of the 1970s, it was clear that nuclear power would not ...

List Of Cancelled Nuclear Reactors In Russia
This is a list of cancelled nuclear reactors and site projects in Russia. History Throughout the 1970s and up to the late 1980s, Russia had been rapidly expanding its RBMK reactor program. Eighteen were originally planned across three sites including Kursk, Leningrad and Smolensk. However, in light of the Chernobyl incident in 1986, many of these reactors were either cancelled, or left unfinished. Some of these reactors had significant infrastructure already in place in preparation for construction but were halted as the reactors were seen as very unsafe. In recent decades, construction was started on reactor projects all across the country using the newer VVER class of reactors. In some cases, complications with supply, export security and a variety of other factors have led to the suspension of construction or even permanent cancellation of these projects entirely. This list displays the status of these projects and identifies them as cancelled plan, meaning the site never came ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Fusion Experiments
Experiments directed toward developing fusion power are invariably done with dedicated machines which can be classified according to the principles they use to confine the plasma (physics), plasma fuel and keep it hot. The major division is between Magnetic confinement fusion, magnetic confinement and Inertial confinement fusion, inertial confinement. In magnetic confinement, the tendency of the hot plasma to expand is counteracted by the Lorentz force between currents in the plasma and magnetic fields produced by external coils. The particle densities tend to be in the range of to and the linear dimensions in the range of . The particle and energy confinement times may range from under a millisecond to over a second, but the configuration itself is often maintained through input of particles, energy, and current for times that are hundreds or thousands of times longer. Some concepts are capable of maintaining a plasma indefinitely. In contrast, with inertial confinement, ther ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Commercial Nuclear Reactors
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of May 2025, there are 439 operable power reactors in the world, with a combined electrical capacity of 397.7 GW. Additionally, there are 68 reactors under construction and 108 reactors planned, with a combined capacity of 74 GW and 103 GW, respectively, while 359 more reactors are proposed. For non-power reactors, see List of nuclear research reactors. For fuel plants see List of nuclear reprocessing plants. Where not otherwise specified, all information is sourced from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In the following tables, the ''capacity'' (expressed in megawatt, MW) refers to the ''net capacity'', or the maximum electricity output under referenc ...
