Question

State any three precautions in running nuclear reactors.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Looked at functionally, the three basic safety functions in a nuclear reactor are: To control reactivity. To cool the fuel. To contain radioactive substances and containing radiation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Three precautions in running nuclear reactors

• To control reactivity.
• To cool the fuel.
• To contain radioactive substances.

Explanation:

• Most reactors have two inherent safety features: a negative temperature coefficient and a negative void coefficient. The first means that, beyond a certain point, as the temperature rises, the reaction's efficiency decreases.
• The second means that if any steam forms in the cooling water, the moderating effect decreases, allowing fewer neutrons to initiate fission, and the reaction automatically slows down.
