Nuclear Reactors

A nuclear reactor is a device that can manage a self-sustaining series of nuclear-fission reactions. Neutrons freed in one reaction may hit other heavy nuclei, causing them to split. Fission is the process in which a nucleus splits into two smaller pieces. A large amount of energy is released in this process. In a nuclear reactor the chain reaction is maintained at a steady pace. The rate of this chain reaction is controlled by materials, …

…theory, introduced in 1923 by the Danish chemist Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and the English chemist Thomas Martin Lowry. They stated that any compound that can transfer a proton to any other compound is an acid, and the compound that accepts the proton is a base. So in conclusion reactors and breeder reactors have helped to make our lives easier by producing energy and have helped to cure millions all over the world.
