21Behavior of nuclear fuel during a reactor accident — This page is devoted to a discussion of how uranium dioxide nuclear fuel behaves during both normal nuclear reactor operation and under reactor accident conditions such as overheating. Work in this area is often very expensive to conduct, and so… …
22Nuclear fuel response to reactor accidents — This page is devoted to a discussion of how uranium dioxide nuclear fuel behaves during both normal nuclear reactor operation and under reactor accident conditions such as overheating. Work in this area is often very expensive to conduct, and so… …
23Advanced gas-cooled reactor — An advanced gas cooled reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor. These are the second generation of British gas cooled reactors, using graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as coolant. The AGR was developed from the Magnox… …
24UNGG reactor — The UNGG ( Uranium Naturel Graphite Gaz ) is an obsolete design of nuclear power reactor developed by France. It was graphite moderated, cooled by carbon dioxide, and fueled with natural uranium metal.It was developed independently of and in… …
25Very high temperature reactor — The Very High Temperature Reactor is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphite moderated nuclear reactor with a once through uranium fuel cycle. This reactor design envisions an outlet temperature of 1000°C. The reactor core can be… …
26D1G reactor — The D1G reactor was a prototype naval reactor designed for the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on warships. The D1G designation stands for: D = Destroyer platform 1 = First generation core designed by the… …
27R4 nuclear reactor — was a nuclear reactor built at Marviken and the fourth nuclear reactor built in Sweden. It was heavy water moderated and intended for the dual role of 130MWe of power generation and also plutonium production. It was never loaded with fuel, and… …
28Nuclear reactor — An apparatus in which a nuclear fission chain reaction can be initiated, controlled, and sustained at a specific rate. A reactor includes fuel (fissionable material), moderating material to control the rate of fission, a heavy walled pressure… …
29Fluidized bed reactor — A fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is a type of reactor device that can be used to carry out a variety of multiphase chemical reactions. In this type of reactor, a fluid (gas or liquid) is passed through a granular solid material (usually a catalyst… …
30Chemical reactor — In chemical engineering, chemical reactors are vessels designed to contain chemical reactions. The design of a chemical reactor deals with multiple aspects of chemical engineering. Chemical engineers design reactors to maximize net present value… …
