Core of CROCUS, a small nuclear reactor used for research at the EPFL in Switzerland. A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators.
Reactor Accidents and the Release of Radioactive Materials. In a nuclear power plant, the fuel, an isotope of either uranium or plutonium, undergoes fission to produce the energy that is used to heat water and turn steam-driven turbine generators.he total number of people who died in the earthquake and the tsunami that it generated is still being assessed, but the official estimation already exceeds 14,000. 1 The natural disaster also caused substantial damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the consequences of which are still unclear.
