nuclear reactors from uranium-238. (Seeuranium processing.) In order to make an explosion, fission weapons do not require uranium or plutonium that is pure in the isotopes uranium-235 and plutonium-239. Most of the uranium used in current nuclear weapons is approximately 93.5 percent enriched ...
Nuclear reactor - Safety, Fission, Control: Nuclear reactors contain very large amounts of radioactive isotopes—mostly fission products but also such heavy elements as plutonium. If this radioactivity were to escape the reactor, its impact on the people

The nuclear weapons program itself suffers from a fragile and aging production and R and D complex, which has been further subjected to increasing demands arising from environmental, safety, and security concerns. Problems leading to shutdowns and power reductions in the DOE production reactors ...
HORACE, a zero energy reactor, is now operating at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston, Berkshire. It is being used for the study of the nuclear characteristics of a light-water research reactor, and consists of an arrangement of enriched reactor fuel in ordinary water.. ...

Nuclear weapons reactors: too hot to handle? 来自 ACM 喜欢 0 阅读量: 24 作者: K Fitzgerald 摘要: Problems that arose in August 1988 during the startup of a reactor at the Savannah River nuclear weapons plant in Aiken, South Carolina, led to Congressional hearings on defense reactors in...
The declining reserves of fossil fuels and their detrimental effects on the environment have thrust nuclear power based on fission reaction into the limelight as a promising option to energy-starved economies around the world. However, the 1986 Chernobyl
