Question

Elaborate the structure of a nuclear reactor.What are advantages and risks associated with nuclear energy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Main Components of a Nuclear Reactor:

⦁ The Core: It contains all the fuel and generates the heat required for energy production.

⦁ The Coolant: It passes through the core, absorbing the heat and transferring into turbines

⦁ The Turbine: Transfers energy into the mechanical form

⦁ The Cooling Tower: It eliminates the excess heat that is not converted or transferred

⦁ The Containment: The enveloping structure that separated the nuclear reactor from the surrounding environment.

Answer 2

A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in nuclear marine propulsion. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working
