Reactor Operations
Reactor operations involve the management and control of a nuclear reactor, which is a facility that generates energy through nuclear fission. Operators monitor various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and radiation levels, to ensure safe and efficient functioning. They follow strict protocols to maintain stability and respond to any anomalies.
The core of a reactor contains fuel, typically enriched uranium, which undergoes fission to release energy. This energy heats water, producing steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. Safety systems are in place to prevent accidents and protect both the environment and public health during nuclear energy production.
