what are common parts of a nuclear reactor
Parts of Nuclear Power Plant. Fuel: The fissionable material used in the reactor is called as fuel. The commonly used fuels are Uranium, Plutonium or Thorium. It can be U-235, U-238, Pu-236 or Th-232.Uranium is mostly preferred as it has high melting point.n assembly giving large amount of nuclear energy through fission reaction in a controlled rate is called a nuclear reactor. It is a system that contains and controls sustained nuclear chain reactions.
