I watched alot of videos trying to understand how a nuclear power plant worked this is the only one that went into great detail, with amazing explenation, Thanks!
Hey dude, sorry, but in fission process one Uranium atom does not split into two Uranium atoms. This is nonsense. Most commonly it splits into Barium and Krypton atoms, but other splits are also possible.
Baryon conservation is all kind of messed up in this one too. You can't split an uranium nucleus into 2 uranium nuclei. For the most part when fission happens it split to two asymetric (by mass, and nucleon distribution) fission product and some neutrons (function of incident neutron energy as well as the fissile material 1
I'm a power island operator at a thermal power plant. Nuclear power plants are very new and unknown to us. What I'm curious about is whether there are LP and HP heaters like in traditional plants.
does it turn into half an atom of uranium or does it turn into barium and krypton and lose its uranium mass? I can't find much specific information about this
