41VT-1 reactor — The VT 1 reactor was the nuclear fission reactor used in a pair to power Soviet submarine K 27 as part of the Soviet Navy s Project 645 Кит ЖМТ. It is a liquid metal cooled reactor (LMR), using highly enriched uranium 235 fuel to produce 73 MWt… …
42Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
43Carem — Saltar a navegación, búsqueda El reactor CAREM (Central Argentina de Elementos Modulares) es un proyecto de central nuclear de baja potencia (25 MW eléctricos) concebida con un diseño de última generación. Las posibles aplicaciones de una central …
44Nuclear reactor coolant — Nuclear reactor coolants Coolant Melting point Boiling point Light water at 155 bar 345 °C Mercury 38.83 °C 356.73 °C NaK eutectic 11 °C 785 °C Sodium 97.72 °C 883 °C …
45Dry cask storage — Example of a dry cask storage area. Dry cask storage is a method of storing high level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel that has already been cooled in the spent fuel pool for at least one year.[1]. These casks are typically …
46Nuclear weapons in popular culture — A nuclear fireball lights up the night in a United States nuclear test. Since their public debut in August 1945, nuclear weapons and their potential effects have been a recurring motif in popular culture,[1] to the extent that the decades of the …
47Depleted uranium — The DU penetrator of a 30 mm round[1] Depleted uranium (DU; also referred to in the past as Q metal, depletalloy, or D 38) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope U 235 than natural uranium (natural uranium is about 99.27% uranium… …
48Alfa class submarine — The Soviet Union/Russian Navy Project 705 ( Лира / Lyra ) was a submarine class of hunter/killer nuclear powered vessels (abbreviated PLA: Podvodnaya lodka atomnaya , nuclear hunter/killer submarine). The class is also known by the NATO reporting …
49Reactor vessel — In a nuclear power plant, the reactor vessel is a pressure vessel containing the coolant and reactor core. Not all power reactors have a reactor vessel. Power reactors are generally classified by the type of coolant rather than the by the… …
50Soviet submarine K-27 — K 27 was the only submarine of Projekt 645 in the Soviet Navy. Projekt 645 did not have its own NATO reporting name; it was a test attack submarine, incorporating a pair of experimental VT 1 reactor plants using liquid metal coolant (lead bismuth …
