controlled nuclear reaction

Criticality is a state when controlled nuclear reactions take place.

Under normal conditions, the plants produce power by sustaining a controlled nuclear reaction inside a pressure vessel.

After presiding over the world's first controlled nuclear reaction, which scientist celebrated with a small paper cup of Chianti?

It uses a controlled nuclear reaction to,create the electron-particle stream necessary for lasing.

Nuclear power is produced by controlled nuclear reactions.

(The first controlled nuclear reaction occurred beneath the University of Chicago's old football stadium in 1942.)

General Hau Pei-tsun claimed that scientists in Taiwan had already produced a controlled nuclear reaction.

Nuclear power is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions.

On December 2, 1942, the world's first controlled nuclear reaction was conducted at the University of Chicago as part of the top secret Manhattan Project.

This primary, secondary, tertiary cooling scheme is the basis of the pressurized water reactor, which is the most common way to extract usable energy from a controlled nuclear reaction.

Plutonium 239, a fissile isotope, is produced from uranium 238 in nuclear reactors. Installation in which controlled nuclear reactions are carried out, with the heat released being used to create water vapour.

The location commemorates the exact location where the Manhattan Project team devised the first nuclear reactor to produce the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear reaction under the former stands of Stagg Field.

The sculpture was erected for and dedicated at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the initiation of the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear reaction on the grounds by Fermi on December 2, 1942.

No doubt in retrospect too the turning point will be seen as the controlled nuclear reaction and the apparently limitless vistas both for destruction and, as the transformation of that process, the seductive appeal of limitless cheap power.

Much higher power laser systems are being studied for power generation via inertial confinement fusion in which case the focused laser beam(s) are incident symmetrically with enough intensity on a pellet target to initiate a controlled nuclear reaction.

Louis Slotin was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1910 and studied physical chemistry at King's College in London before making his way to Enrico Fermi's lab in Chicago, where the first controlled nuclear reaction was achieved in 1942, and then on to Los Alamos.
