An unclear reactor works by bombarding the fuel rods with neutrons generated by a neutron howitzer, the fuel rods act like a resistor against the neutrons generating heat, very similar to an element in a kettle. The neutrons generated in the howitzer are produced from high voltage accelerated through a partical accelerator. The high voltage is stepped up from the output power of the plant. Nuclear fission is an unclear way to explain how a nuclear reactor works imo.
But how does it start?? The rods go in the water, blank blank blank blank, then fission begins. What happens to start the process? Why isnt fission happening as the rods are loaded or prepped?
If only it would be so easy then u won't need be a nuclear physicist to build or understand how they really works nor would u need piles of nuclear physics books if it can be done in 4 min videos lol
If I hit a lead or a uranium atom with a speedy enough proton neutrons will be knocked out. Not sure how they do it to start brand new powerplants but residual delayed neutrons come from fission products. Maybe they take a freshly spent fuel assembly from another plant, maybe the fresh pile just does the odd side-reaction.
The fuel rods in the water begin to fission, with water moderating the reaction, and the control rods are partially taken out in order to allow the reaction to start.
In the shift to the uranium and plutonium yo the nuclear reactor why did they didnt used a grinded iron mix with welding rod boron nitrate to create heat and the waste laterial can be recycled to the iron
How long do control rods last and where do they go once they are no longer viable? How long do they stay radioactive? Is Uranium renewable? I'm all about other sources of energy but lets not misinform people and say nuclear is "eco friendly"
at 4:08 it is shown as if part of the heated water is made into the steam which is used to produce energy, O.K., and part of it is going to the pump which makes the *heated* water go back to the core. Is there actually any kind of cooler which cools the water before it enters the core again?
No. Cooling water only for the condenser used by the steam turbine. Want as high a vacuum in the turbine to expand steam and get as much work out of the steam. For instance, 1 steam pressure in absolute PSIA of 1 psi has a Saturated Steam Temperature of 101.696 degrees F. At 0.1 PSIA the Saturated Steam Temperature is 35.0058 F. The colder the water leaving the condenser means more efficiency from the turbine.
@@prashanttiwari6214 That depends on the type of reactor it is and or the practices of the licensee. Some operators only extract a fraction of the spent fuel during refueling. The new spent fuel is then activated by the fuel that was left in the core.
I think Nuclear reactors are designed to sustain an ongoing chain reaction of fission; they are filled with a specially designed, solid uranium fuel and surrounded by water, which facilitates the process. When the reactor starts, uranium atoms will split, releasing neutrons and heat. I hope this might help u
a plant that has never operated before and has all new fuel would need something to start the neutrons firing. This is caused by a startup neutron source, such as Californium-252 or Plutonium-238. These metallic elements are inserted into the reactor with new nuclear fuel. As control rods are lifted from the reactor core, neutrons from the neutron source start to fire, and because there is enough fuel for a sustained reaction, we start the fission process, which sustains a plant
Because there is huge amount of energy released during one collision btw the neutron and uranium . It requries so many thing for various controlling manners nd each has some or the other workinf functions in it. I hope this might help u
Our Civilisation’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity
So much nice sir great i understood the whole concept
Wonderful explanation sir, I see 5 times with practical knowledge.
Glad to hear that
Hay man your video, way of express information are fabulous.😊
Thanku so much for that.
Excellent explanation 👌👍thank you ☢️☣️☑️ Missing Chernobyl 😀
This video has cleared my all dough .😊😊😊😊
What software did you use for this animation please?
This helped me in my sci exam to get sentam
Which software is used to make this animation.....!!!
I am Watching this before my exam this helped me alot to learn.
exam for what?
Inter physics
Which class ??

This really helps me alot to understand d science 😘tysm mam for d same 😃such a good explanation 🤗
Most welcome 😊
Nice this type video

Those blank you study in MIT for years,I guess
I want an answer to this too it's been bugging me all week

Can u provide ppt off nuclear reactor
What given out the new 1st neutron?
How long do control rods last and where do they go once they are no longer viable? How long do they stay radioactive? Is Uranium renewable? I'm all about other sources of energy but lets not misinform people and say nuclear is "eco friendly"
Well explaination
at 4:08 it is shown as if part of the heated water is made into the steam which is used to produce energy, O.K., and part of it is going to the pump which makes the *heated* water go back to the core. Is there actually any kind of cooler which cools the water before it enters the core again?

Thankyou sir 🙏
From where this neutron came at first? And how
The first neutron is released form our side to initiate the reaction. they have special device for that

I still don't get it, why doesn't a single pellet heat up on its own? Why does it require so many tubes and bundles?
Because there is huge amount of energy released during one collision btw the neutron and uranium .
It requries so many thing for various controlling manners nd each has some or the other workinf functions in it.
I hope this might help u
Google 'critical mass for chain reaction'.
Thanks sir
nice
Meltdown can happen
Why don't they just boil some water?
👍👍👍

I have already nuclear.How? At that time you were sleeping.
