Make energy usually if use for power it generates steam for a turbine to create electricity others uses is just to study fission hence they probably doesn't create electricity or is of great power
A nuclear reactor boils water by using the heat given off by splitting atoms. Fission. Unstable elements (Uranium235/8) can spontaneously fission when there's enough of it in one place. Critical mass. Sometimes a spark is needed, in the form of neutrons being fired at the unstable element. Then that element will split and give off more neutrons, which splits more atoms, and more and more, exponentially.
Wow now internationaly viewed (im from germany)
merci beaucoup
We got to tour the sewage treatment plant across the street instead of this during elementary school field trip :(
That's funny. I lived in the BlueBell apartments next to the sewage treatment plant for a year back in the 1970's. Fun times!
Damn... I wish I went here...
what a nuclear reactor does exactly?
