Question Paper
What are the principal parts of a nuclear reactor? Explain each part in brief.
Why are nuclear power stations not so popular and successful in this country?
How are nuclear power plants classified Explain how fission reaction takes place and how is the chain reaction controlled.
Discuss briefly about boiling water reactor plant.
How are nuclear reactors classified Explain with neat sketch the working of a pressurised water reactor.
Discuss the various factors to be considered while selecting the site for nuclear power plants.
Give the layout of a fast breeder reactor power plant and explain its salient features.
Discuss the problem of waste disposal from the nuclear plants and methods used for disposal.
What is "nuclear fusion" How does it differ from "nuclear fission"
A city requires 1500 MWh of electric energy per day. It is to be supplied by a reactor which converts nuclear energy into electric energy with an efficiency of 20 percent. If the reactor uses nuclear fuel of U^235 calculate the mass of U^235 needed for one day's operation.
Assume that on an average 200 MeV is released per fission.
Give the construction and working of a "Gas cooled reactor". What are its advantages and disadvantages?
A nuclear reactor consumes 10 kg of U^235 per day. Calculate the power output, if the average energy released per U^235 fission is 200 MeV.
