There are different types of nuclear reactors that are used in the manufacturing of plutonium, ships, satellites & aircraft for research as well as medical purposes. The power plant includes not only includes the reactor and also includes turbines, generators, cooling towers, a variety of safety ...
Most Generation III+ reactors are larger than their predecessors and are aimed at producing in well excess of 1000 MW of electricity. Their designs have been built upon the half-century of knowledge and operational experience from preceding nuclear systems to: increase safety, fuel efficiency, ...
Analysis of existing power reactor designs in Indian context Indian nuclear power program considers a variety of reactors. They include the indigenous version of pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR), Tarapur boiling water reactor (BWR), imported light water reactors - LWRs (Russian VVER, French...
H-2 and H-3 will not undergo the fusion process in normal conditions. They need extremely high temperatures and pressures for this to happen. The reason lies on the fact that there are two main opposite forces in game, electromagnetic repulsion of the protons and nuclear attractive forces. N...

of maximum cumulative α dose that albite was subjected to and by the extent of dissolution of uraninite during alteration. In well-preserved alteration haloes, from uraninite to the unaltered part of albite, the alteration minerals are systematically distributed in different zones; zone-1: K-...
Nuclear reactor engineering 1. The magnetic properties of metallic glasses are not affected by irradiation and so they are useful in preparing containers fornuclear waste disposal and magnets for fusion reactors. 2. Chromium and phosphorous based metallic glasses have high corrosion resistances and so ...
A nuclear weapon is a device designed to release energy in an explosive manner as a result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or a combination of the two. Fission weapons are commonly referred to as atomic bombs, and fusion weapons are referred to as th
