Nuclear Energy Explained: How does it work? Nuclear Energy is a controversial subject. The pro- and anti-nuclear lobbies fight furiously, and it's difficult to decide who is right. So we're trying to clear up the issue - in this video we discuss how we got to where we are today, as the basis for discussion. Next week we'll be looking at the arguments for and against nuclear power in detail.

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.

Please Read Below For More Information Anything with the word nuclear next to it usually comes with a fair bit of misunderstanding. Hopefully this video demystifies the process of how nuclear fuels are turned into electricity and how we can use them in combination with renewables in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the effects on the climate that come with high levels of them. Of course, there are many things that have been left out this video as nuclear energy, just as with any other source, has many different factors that need to be taken into account when making decisions. In order to fully understand the situation and make decisions, I highly recommend that you do some research of your own on the topic, rather than simply base your opinion on a four-minute YouTube video. It should also be noted that this video has been made from the perspective of the United States in general.

Documentary Films: The History of Nuclear Power How do nuclear power plants work to ensure absolute safety? To answer this question constantly tossed up in environmental forums, it may be best to understand what goes behind doors of a nuclear power plant. In many developing nations, nuclear energy is a major source of electricity as it claims to be safe whilst producing sufficient levels to meet their needs. Since coal and oil are considered depleting resources, the drive to explore nuclear energy as an alternative source is more evident than ever. The mere mention of a nuclear power plant normally draws mixed reactions. Perhaps due to historical events which are still rearing ugly heads, pun intended, in this current day and age, many may be hesitant to support the building of one in their neighborhood. Whether it is the fear of seeing over-sized farm animals, glow-in-the-dark residents or setting off Geiger meters, nuclear energy is becoming more of a reality. To put fluttering hearts at ease, strict rules and procedures are imposed in the running of a nuclear power plant. In ensuring safety within the plant as well as surrounding areas, it is considered to be a safer technology as compared to conventional methods. How do nuclear power plants work to generate the electricity supply? Leaving a lump of radioactive material on its own is not the solution as it breaks down and emits rays, not electrical charges. Other than endangering those in close proximity, this is obviously not the solution sought. When radioactive material breaks down, it is known as the fission process. When this happens, a tremendous amount of heat is released. To manage the heating process, water is used to control the temperature hike. As the water is heated, it is converted into steam. This is then pumped into a turbine which turns like a waterwheel placed atop a flowing river. Electricity is thus the final outcome and sent to a power grid or plant. Although the above covers the gist of the matter, it is not as simple in actual fact. Many levels and mechanisms of control need to be implemented to ensure smooth and safe operations at all times. Since radioactive material is the mainstay of the process, careful control over its behavior is crucial. If too much heat is generated, there must be methods to slow down the fission process. This is normally done via control rods which are lowered into the core to absorb the neutrons. By pumping pressurized water into the reactor to cool it down, the process is also slowed down. Uncontrolled overheating can result in reactor meltdown, an unfortunate incident in the dark annals of history.

Is Nuclear Power Safe - BBC Documentary * Please subscribe : https://goo.gl/Q8SWYV * Like Fanpage : https://www.facebook.com/bbcdocuemtar... * Twitter : https://twitter.com/HorionOne. Six months after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the release of radiation there, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to discover whether nuclear power is safe. He begins in Japan, where he meets some of the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from the exclusion zone. He travels to an abandoned village just outside the zone to witness a nuclear clean-up operation. Jim draws on the latest scientific findings from Japan and from the previous explosion at Chernobyl to understand how dangerous the release of radiation is likely to be and what that means for our trust in nuclear power.
