enriched-uranium reactor
81depleted uranium — /dəplitəd juˈreɪniəm/ (say duhpleetuhd yooh rayneeuhm) noun uranium in which the percentage fraction by weight of the isotope U 235 is less than 0.711%, that is, less than that occurring in nature; the by product of enriched uranium after its use …
82DIDO (nuclear reactor) — For other uses, see Dido. DIDO was a nuclear reactor at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom. It used enriched uranium metal fuel, and heavy water as both neutron moderator and primary coolant.… …
83Corium (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 …
84Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment — MSRE plant diagram The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was an experimental molten salt reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researching this technology through the 1960s; constructed by 1964, it went critical in 1965 and was… …
85Peak uranium — is the point in time that the maximum global uranium production rate is reached. After that peak, the rate of production enters a terminal decline. While Uranium is used in nuclear weapons, its primary use is for energy generation via nuclear… …
86Experimental Breeder Reactor II — There is also a separate, closed, unrelated facility called Experimental Breeder Reactor I .Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR II) is a reactor at the Materials and Fuels Complex of the Idaho National Laboratory, formerly the Argonne West… …
87Clementine (nuclear reactor) — Clementine was the code name for the world s first fast neutron nuclear reactor. It was an experimental scale reactor. The maximum output was 25 kW and was fueled by plutonium and cooled by liquid mercury. Clementine was located at Los… …
88Gaseous fission reactor — A gas nuclear reactor (or gas fueled reactor ) limits the only temperature limiting materials in a reactor to the reactor walls. A limitation for conventional nuclear fission reactors is that if the nuclear fuel temperature were to rise too high… …
89Light water reactor — LWR redirects here. See also: LWR (disambiguation) A light water reactor or LWR is a thermal nuclear reactor that uses ordinary water, also called light water, as its neutron moderator. This differentiates it from a heavy water reactor, which… …
90Heavy water reactor — Heavy water reactors use heavy water as a neutron moderator. Heavy water is deuterium oxide, D2O. Neutrons in a nuclear reactor that uses uranium must be slowed down so that they are more likely to split other atoms and get more neutrons released …
