The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

fission based nuclear reactor…?

Can anyone tell me the basic operation of a fission based nuclear reactor power generation station? So far i understand that coolant is pumped around the reactor and is turned to steam by the heat generated by the reactions. The steam drives the generator. I have only got this information from sources in text books […]

Nuclear fission reactor?

What is the main advantage of using fusion reactions to generate power? What is the plasma in the fusion reaction? How can spent fuel be reprocessed? What is the advantage of nuclear fuel compared to coal (for generation of power)? Thanks if you can answer any of these questions

fusion in fission reactor?

why doesn’t fusion reaction occur in reactors using heavy water as coolant? I do not mean chain reaction. Even a few instances. As for as I know, energy of the liberated neutrons is about 1 MeV, while fusion of deuteron requires about 5GeV. But if it is so, than how they create fusion in bombs. […]

About how much hydrogen would a fusion reactor consume on a daily basis?

I’m not really looking for an exact figure, really just whether it would require very little fuel (like a fission reactor) or a constant flow (like a coal generator). I really don’t understand how a theoretical reactor would work, so I have no idea whether this is even a valid question :P, but any response […]
