Nuclear Reactor - Understanding how it works | Physics Elearnin video Nuclear reactors are the modern day devices extensively used for power generation as the traditional fossil fuels, like coal, are at the breach of extinction. A nuclear reactor is the source of intense heat which is in turn used for generation of power in nuclear power station. Its mechanism is similar to that of a furnace in a steam generator; the steam is used to drive the turbines of the electric generator system. A nuclear reactor consists of three crucial components: Fuel elements, moderator and control rods. Fuel elements come usually in the shape of thin rods of about 1cm in diameter and contain fissionable nuclei, like Uranium (235 92U or 238 92U).

Idaho State University Celebrates 50 Years Running Nuclear Reactor
The Aerojet General Nucleonics Reactor, known as the AGN - 201, located at Idaho State University is now in its 50th year of operation. Adam Mallicoat, Reactor Supervisor, says that it was designed to be operated by young people, specifically for high school students. "You would go and you would train on the reactor and learn how to operate while you were still in high school. You would graduate and you would go out and start working at a power plant, or a national lab," Mallicoat said. The company that originally designed the reactor, Aerojet General Nucleonics, is out of business, and not producing any replacement parts. If a part breaks it can be upgraded, or rebuilt by a machinist. The AGN 201 Nuclear Reactor is one of only five similar models left in the world. Mallicoat says th...

WSU Reactor Pulsing to 1.2GW (January 2007)
This is the research reactor on the Washington State University campus pulsing to 1.2GW at different levels of reactivity (in units of dollars). The blue glow is caused by high energy beta particles (or electrons) interacting with the water around the reactor. The reactor is a 1MW TRIGA type and is used for research only (no power is produced). Various isotopes produced and neutron beams are used to aid in research for the chemistry and biological science department, as well as many other research projects on campus. There are only 12 other university reactors of this size left in the US.

The blue light is known as Cherenkov radiation. It is similar to a sonic boom, but instead of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound, a charged particle is travelling faster than the speed of light in a medium. In this case, the speed of light in water is roughly 75% the speed of light in a vacuum. It tests the time-dependent properties of the fuel. Engineers use that data to predict what would happen if there were an accident at a large reactor Cherenkov radiation, also known as Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation,[a] is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.

South Korea to Get Limitless Free Energy as Its Fusion Reactor Sustains PLAZMA First Time in History
Engineers in South Korea have pushed the boundaries of nuclear fusion by setting a new record for maintaining plasma. Plasma is one of the four states of matter - the others being liquid, gas and solid - with examples being lightning and the sun. In a reactor at a national fusion facility, a team managed to keep superheated plasma in a steady state for more than a minute. The new record marks another step towards nuclear fusion as a potentially limitless source of energy. The institute, located in the city of Daejeon 160 km south of Seoul, is developing a tokamak-style reactor which aims to harness the energy of fusing atoms. According to World Nuclear News, South Korea's National Fusion Research Institute (NFRI) achieved a world record for plasma operation. Using the Korean Superconducti...

Nuclear Reactor - Understanding how it works | Physics Elearnin video
Nuclear reactors are the modern day devices extensively used for power generation as the traditional fossil fuels, like coal, are at the breach of extinction. A nuclear reactor is the source of intense heat which is in turn used for generation of power in nuclear power station. Its mechanism is similar to that of a furnace in a steam generator; the steam is used to drive the turbines of the electric generator system.
A nuclear reactor consists of three crucial components: Fuel elements, moderator and control rods.
Fuel elements come usually in the shape of thin rods of about 1cm in diameter and contain fissionable nuclei, like Uranium (235 92U or 238 92U). These rods vary in number according to the size of the reactor, in large power reactor thousands of fuel elements are placed close to each other. This region where these fuel elements are placed is called the reactor core. These fuel elements are normally immersed in water which acts as a moderator.
The objective of a moderator is to slow down the energy neutrons in a nuclear reactor which are produced during the nuclear fission process by the fuel elements. Thermal neutrons, which are neutrons with energy of about 0.04 electron volts, are capable of producing fission reaction with 235 92U. During the fission reaction process, new neutrons are given out which have energies of about 1 MeV. These neutrons of typically escape from participating in another fission process as they are accompanied by enormous energy release. In f -ct, the probability of these neutrons produce another fission reaction is 500 times less than as compared to that of a thermal neutron. This is where moderator is extremely useful. Moderator has the capability to slow down, or in other words moderate, the speed of these high-energy neutrons, so that they can in turn be used for a chain reaction to trigger multiple fission reactions of other 235 92U nucleus.
Commonly, ordinary or heavy water is used as moderator in nuclear reactors because of the deuterons present in them which are capable of slowing the neutron speed. Water molecules in the moderator are useful in slowing down the high-energy neutrons which leave the fuel-element after nuclear fission. These high-energy neutrons collide with water molecules thereby losing out on some energy with every collision and therefore slow down substantially. A new fission reaction can now be triggered using this slow neutron by striking it with the fuel element.
The third and of the most prominent part of a nuclear reactor are the control rods. In order to get a steady output of energy from the nuclear reactor, every single nuclear fission reaction should trigger another fission reaction and ensure the availability of a spare neutron released to trigger the chain reaction. By controlling the number of spare neutrons available at any given time, the rate of the nuclear fission chain reaction can be controlled. This control on the fission reaction can be maintained using the control rods.
The main function of the control rods is to absorb any excess or spare neutron in the moderator in order to prevent any further fission reaction. Usually such control rods are made of Boron or Cadmium. To increase the rate of fission reactions, these rods can be removed from the moderator. A steady output of energy can be thus maintained by inserting or removing the control rods in the nuclear reactor.
Now that we know the components of a nuclear reactor, let us understand the working of a nuclear reactor. It is usually enclosed in a shield made of thick concrete walls. It consists of a reactor core, pump and heat exchanger. The reactor core and pump are in placed in contact with the water, which is usually the heat exchanger used in reactors. Due to the enormous amount of heat released dusing nuclear fission reaction, this surrounding water gets heated up and changes to steam, which is in turn used to turn the turbines. Thus huge heat energy gets converted into electrical energy. Water is continuously flown in and out of the nuclear reactor using the pump.
Thus a nuclear reactor successfully generates nuclear energy from fission reaction.

Idaho State University Celebrates 50 Years Running Nuclear Reactor

The Aerojet General Nucleonics Reactor, known as the AGN - 201, located at Idaho State University is now in its 50th year of operation.
Adam Mallicoat, Reactor Supervisor, says that it was designed to be operated by young people, specifically for high school students.
"You would go and you would train on the reactor and learn how to operate while you were still in high school. You would graduate and you would go out and start working at a power plant, or a national lab," Mallicoat said.
The company that originally designed the reactor, Aerojet General Nucleonics, is out of business, and not producing any replacement parts. If a part breaks it can be upgraded, or rebuilt by a machinist.
The AGN 201 Nuclear Reactor is one of only five similar models left in the world.
Mallicoat says there are three in the United States, including the one at ISU, and two others located in Italy and South Korea.
Unlike the Advanced Test Reactor located at the Idaho National Laboratory which can produce 250 million watts of thermal power, enough to power a city, The AGN – 201 Reactor can only produce five watts of thermal power, enough to light one Christmas tree light bulb.
"It's basically a plastic reactor. It runs at such a low power that coolant isn't required," Mallicoat says.
Maxwell Daniels, Senior Reactor Operator, says other Nuclear Engineering programs are successful without a reactor, but having one at ISU has given students an extra edge. Being able to provide real-world experience has been valuable to those in the nuclear engineering program.
"Having the reactor here is probably the second biggest reason I could think for people to want to come to Idaho State University for Nuclear Engineering ... Also it would be a little tougher to be able to do these real world experiments," Daniels said.
Nuclear Reactors are typically renewed every 20 years, and the AGN - 201's license was renewed recently. If needed the reactor could run at full power 24/7 for 200 years without replacing the fuel. Daniels says that the reactor probably won't be going anywhere.
"I see this reactor sticking around for easily another hundred years. Continual upgrades by students, different faculty members performing different experiments. As time goes on and these new reactor designs that people are trying to submit and to build in the U.S. ... there is going to be a need for smaller reactors that you can perform research on," Daniels said.
Mallicoat says his favorite part of the job is educating people about the true functions of a nuclear reactor, and dispelling associated fears that people may have.

Engineers in South Korea have pushed the boundaries of nuclear fusion by setting a new record for maintaining plasma.
Plasma is one of the four states of matter - the others being liquid, gas and solid - with examples being lightning and the sun.
In a reactor at a national fusion facility, a team managed to keep superheated plasma in a steady state for more than a minute.
The new record marks another step towards nuclear fusion as a potentially limitless source of energy.
The institute, located in the city of Daejeon 160 km south of Seoul, is developing a tokamak-style reactor which aims to harness the energy of fusing atoms.
According to World Nuclear News, South Korea's National Fusion Research Institute (NFRI) achieved a world record for plasma operation.
Using the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) reactor, the team maintained superheated hydrogen gas in a magnetic field for 70 seconds - a fundamental step of the fusion process.
In a statement, the NFRI said: ‘The world record for high-performance plasma for more than a minute demonstrated that the KSTAR is the forefront in steady-state plasma operation technology in a superconducting device.’
‘This is a huge step forward for realisation of the fusion reactor.’
While other groups, such as the Tore Supra tokamak in France, have maintained fusion reactions for more than five minutes, the Korean team managed to sustain 'high performance' plasma, reducing the flux associated with the superheated state.
Nuclear fusion reactors works on the same principles as stars, by fusing atoms together to form heavier elements.
