Entities | Power Plant | Nuclear Bomb |
Uranium Enrichment | 3-5% of enrichment | More than 90% of enrichment |
Reaction | Controlled Chain Reaction Using Control Rods | Uncontrolled Chain reaction without any usage of control rod. Reaction is fast and spontaneous. |
When the reactor is turned on, the multiplication of fissions is allowed to continue until the reactor is generating power at the desired rate. Then control rods that absorb neutrons are inserted until exactly one neutron from each fission causes another fission. | Two neutrons produced by fission was absorbed by an atom of U-235 the number of fissions would double in a fraction of second and then double again and again. If this were allowed to continue, in a few seconds the power produced is enough to melt a reactor. |
You may wonder what coming out from two towers in this picture?? Relax..It's nothing but just H2O!!! Welcome to our blog!! As nuclear power ambassadors, our mission is to raise your awareness on nuclear as green energy. "Nuclear" seems a big deal to you?..Well, it's not..Once you understand it, you'll love it. We promise!!!
