In the most simple of terms, a nuclear reactor is composed offuel, in which heat is generated as a result of a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, and acoolantthat is necessary to transport the heat away from the fuel so that this energy can be used to perform useful work. Often a...
Figure 7 is a simplified diagram of the power flow in an inertial fusion reactor. The electrical power entering the driver is converted to energy on target with a driver efficiency η. The pellet then amplifies this energy by a gain factor G. The energy released by the pellet burn is then...

(for containment studies).INTRODUCTIONIn a nuclear reactor fuel, more than thirty elements are formed as fission products and awide range of other materials (zirconium alloys, steels, graphite, high temperature water)are used as canning, structural, moderating and cooling agents. The term 'nuclear...

Figure 5. Inertial confinementfusion reactor in action.Figure 6. shows the stages of inertial confinement fusion process. When the laser-beams are fired, they focus an enormous quantity of energy onto the shell of the micro-balloon, vaporising it almost instantly producing a surrounding plasma ...
A nuclear power reactor is a type of reactor that uses enriched uranium to undergo fission, releasing a significant amount of heat which is then used to generate electricity through a steam turbine generator. The core of the reactor is surrounded by water under high pressure, serving as both ...
A Nuclear Research and Test Reactor is a type of reactor designed to provide high neutron fluxes for research purposes, allowing for the testing of materials' response to neutron exposure and generating thermal neutron fluxes for various experiments. ...
