Difference Between a Nuclear Reactor and a Nuclear Bomb
Nuclear Reactor vs Nuclear Bomb
Nuclear Reactor
A nuclear reactor is a machine where electricity and heat energy is generated by utilizing the power of atoms. In this mechanism, nuclear chain reactions are produced, controlled, and contained releasing a tremendous amount of energy. This controlled energy is used in electricity generation and radioactive isotopes production. These isotopes are used in the treatment and research of cancer in the medical field. All operating nuclear reactors are “critical.
