Question
Chapter 20, Problem 48QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Thedifferences between light water and heavy water nuclear fission reactors are to be discussed also the advantages of breeder reactor over a conventional nuclear fission reactor are to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
The process in which the division of a nucleus takes place to form (smaller)nuclei, is known as nuclear fission.
A heavy water nuclear fission reactor is a nuclear reactor in which uranium is used as a fuel.
A light water nuclear fission reactor is a nuclear reactor in which water is used.
A breeder reactor uses uranium fuel, but unlike a conventional nuclear reactor, it produces more fissionable materials than it uses.
