प्रश्न
Name any two essential parts of a nuclear reactor. State the function of any one of them.
उत्तर
Components of a nuclear reactor:
- Fuel
- Moderator
- Control rods or blades
- Coolant
- Pressure vessels or pressure tubes
- Steam generator
- Containment
Functions:
-
The core: It contains all the fuel and generates the heat required for energy production.
-
The coolant: It passes through the core, absorbing the heat and transferring it into turbines.
