A boiling water reactor uses 235U, enriched as uranium dioxide, as its fuel. The fuel is assembled into rods housed in a steel vessel that is submerged in water. The nuclear fission causes the water to boil, generating steam.

In a nuclear power reactor, the energy released is used as heat to make steam to generate electricity. (In a research reactor the main purpose is to utilise the actual neutrons produced in the core. In most naval reactors, steam drives a turbine directly for propulsion.)

A lot of people talk about it, but what is it anyway?

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.

In this video we will learn all about the States of Matter for Kids. The 3 states of matter are solids, Liquids and Gases. Have you ever asked yourself "What is a solid?", "What is a liquid?", or "What is a Gas?" Well, if you have, we've got you covered. From what they look like, feel like, smell like we will cover it all. We know that solids and liquids can be felt but often times gasses cannot. We learn about how water can be in any of the 3 states. As an Ice cube it is a solid. When the ice cube melts or when you turn on your kitchen faucet water is a liquid. When it gets very hot and it starts to evaporate water becomes a gas. Learn this and more in a fun introduction to the states of matter.

What do you know about the country of Mexico? Did you know its official name is the United Mexican States? In All about Mexico for Kids, you and your students will learn a lot about the country's rich history. In fact, lots of really cool remnants of the past, such as ancient cities and pyramids. Lots of them are part of modern cities and towns.

Mexico's terrain is pretty diverse, from high mountains and plateaus to low coastal plains and deserts. Some parts are tropical, so the climate ranges from temperatures typical of deserts to those common to rainforests. The country borders Guatemala and Belize in the southeast and the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the north. It also touches the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea.

There are lots of different kinds of animals that live in this country. Mexico actually boasts the most reptiles than any other place in the world. If you visit Mexico, you might find jaguars, pumas, iguanas, lizards, monkeys, or parrots. Of course, it would depend where you are in the country since the habitats are diverse. In the nearby sea or ocean, you might see whales, manta rays, or manatees!

The history of this beautiful country is usually divided into three general periods: early, middle, and recent. The Early period included several ancient societies and civilizations, such as the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. The Olmecs were the first known society, which existed starting in 1200 BC. The Middle period lasted from around 1519 to 1810. In 1810, which marks the start of Mexico's recent history, a rebel leader and others collaborated to gain Mexico's independence.

What do you know about the country of China? In All about China for Kids, you will learn a lot of cool facts about this incredible country. For instance, it is the most populated country in the whole world at 1.4 BILLION people! That is four times as many people as live in the USA. In addition, the official name of the country is the People's Republic of China. It is also the fourth largest country and borders a lot of other countries.

Because of China's big size, it boasts lots of different landscapes, like deserts, forests, mountains, and plateaus. In fact, a whole third of the country is covered in mountains. There are thousands of rivers, including the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, throughout the country. And there is also a lot of wildlife all over the various regions, such as the Giant Panda, which is actually an endangered species. There are only around 2,000 pandas alive today!

China is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations. The history of China splits into periods of time called dynasties, the first one being the Xia Dynasty (pronounced like shaw) over 4000 years ago. And during the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall of China was built, and the people developed advanced technology in mathematics and infrastructure. The last emperor was overthrown in 1912, and the country became a republic. But then in 1949, the current communist government overthrew the republic following a civil war.

There are so many cool attractions and landmarks to visit in China. Besides the Great Wall of China, there is the site of the terracotta army, a series of statues that represent Chinese warriors. They were buried under ground for more than 2,000 years! The Forbidden City is another great attraction, a place that was home to 24 of China's emperors. It was built around 1420 AD. Can you guess why it's called the forbidden city?

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the amazing country of China! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
