The nuclear reactor core is the portion of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reactions take place.

It builds up in the reactor in the rate proportional to the rate of fission, which is proportional to the reactor thermal power.

It is designed to provide a solid containment for the remnants of the reactor.

The mean temperature of the hot coolant leaving the reactor core was designed to be 648 C.

The system is based on a cooling system and water tanks built on top of the containment dome.

In BWRs, the control rods are inserted up from underneath the reactor vessel.

In exchange, France would provide the nuclear reactor as the basis for the Israeli nuclear weapons program.

A full UN sponsored financial squeeze on Iran would jeopardize Russia s profits from providing nuclear fuel for the reactor, which is due to be commissioned soon.

It is thus highly unlikely, though not impossible for a nuclear meltdown to occur.

Surveillance from U.S. satellites also suggested that the reactor would not be used for military purposes.

The new reactor is designed to use low enriched uranium fuel and an open pool light water system.

The ITER international experimental reactor is considered to be the next major step in fusion research.

The first reactor would reportedly be taken offline in 2019 and the last one in 2034.

The KamLAND experiment, started in 2002, has made a high precision observation of reactor neutrino oscillation.

Toxic to many animals, heavy water is used in the nuclear reactor industry to moderate (slow down) neutrons.

When the Indian Ocean tsunami struck, the Madras reactor s core could be kept in safe shutdown condition because the electrical systems had been ingeniously installed on higher ground than the plant itself.

It is the region s largest nuclear plant and sole producer of atomic weapons materials.

In December 2010, Malaysia expressed interest in procuring South Korea's nuclear reactor technology.

Since it went into operation in the mid 1960 s, it has generated elements for an estimated 200 nuclear weapons.

Dimona is no Chernobyl. It generates only about 5 of that failed Soviet reactor s power.

A shutdown or decrease of power of a reactor can result in buildup of 135Xe and getting the reactor into the iodine pit.

Of the reactor's journey, only about 40 miles were traveled overland, from the final port to the refinery.

We are looking forward to joining the International Thermonuclear Energy Reactor project involving nuclear fusion, as a full partner.

In the Syrian case, with one caveat, Israel decided to dispense with the preliminaries and simply destroy the reactor.

In 1973, Dimona s defenders downed a wayward Libyan civilian airliner heading for the reactor, killing 108 people.

In both cases the feed material is placed inside a nuclear reactor and removed for processing after a period of time.

So, if Israel cannot guarantee the plant s defense against attack, it should close it.

First, there is ad hoc diplomacy, which succeeded in eliminating Libya s nuclear program and closing North Korea s nuclear weapons production reactor.

Research has revealed that on the comparatively small area of the mountain there are 1,500 species of higher plants, 500 species of fungi, 500 species of algae, 326 species of mosses, and 200 species of lichens.

A few dozen emergency workers who battled the fire at the reactor succumbed to acute radiation sickness.

So, given the threat of radioactive releases, does the plant s continued operation outweigh the risks?

The resources of a huge country were mobilized to control the devastation, including work to prepare the sarcophagus that would encase the fourth reactor.

The one to actually be built was to be two to three times as large and be able to produce 22 kilograms of plutonium a year.
