core decay heat
1Decay heat — RTG pellet glowing red because of the heat generated by the radioactive decay of plutonium 238 dioxide, after a thermal isolation test. Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay. This is when the radiation interacts with… …
2Exponential decay — A quantity undergoing exponential decay. Larger decay constants make the quantity vanish much more rapidly. This plot shows decay for decay constants of 25, 5, 1, 1/5, and 1/25 for x from 0 to 5. A quantity is said to be subject to exponential… …
3Advanced Heavy Water Reactor — The Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is the latest Indian design for a next generation nuclear reactor that will burn Thorium in its fuel core. It is slated to form the third stage in India s 3 stage fuel cycle plan.… …

5Nuclear reactor — Core of CROCUS, a small nuclear reactor used for research at the EPFL in Switzerland This article is a subarticle of Nuclear power. A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Most commonly they are… …
6Nuclear meltdown — Three of the reactors at Fukushima I overheated, causing core meltdowns. This was compounded by hydrogen gas explosions and the venting of contaminated steam which released large amounts of radioactive material into the air.[1] …
7Nuclear reactor technology — This article is a subarticle of Nuclear power .A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate, as opposed to a nuclear bomb, in which the chain reaction occurs in a… …
8Corium (nuclear reactor) — LFCM redirects here. For the airport, see List of airports by ICAO code: L. The Three Mile Island reactor 2 after the meltdown. Corium, also called fuel containing material (FCM) or lava like fuel containing material (LFCM), is a lava like molten …
