nuclear reactor — Physics. reactor (def. 4). Also called nuclear pile. [1940 45] * * * Device that can initiate and control a self sustaining series of nuclear fission reactions. Neutrons released in one fission reaction may strike other heavy nuclei, causing them … Universalium
Subcritical reactor — A subcritical reactor is a nuclear fission reactor that produces fission without achieving criticality. Instead of a sustaining chain reaction, a subcritical reactor uses additional neutrons from an outside source. A reactor coupled to a particle … Wikipedia
Nuclear reactor physics — See also: Critical mass Nuclear reactor physics is the branch of science that deals with the study and application of chain reaction to induce controlled rate of fission for energy in reactors. Most nuclear reactors use a chain reaction to induce … Wikipedia
Boiling water reactor — A boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of nuclear reactor developed by the General Electric in the mid 1950s.Fact|date=April 2008 The BWR is characterized by two phase fluid flow (water and steam) in the upper part of the reactor core. See… … Wikipedia
